Russian section of GGOS: Network status and progress
Establishment of the Russian section in the framework of Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) is under progress. New components of âQuasarâ network observatories, which are included into GGOS global network as core stations, are presented. Recent developments include: two new generation radio telescopes with 13Â m antennas at Badary and Zelenchukskaya observatories, water vapor radiometers installed at all observatories and software correlator at the Institute of Applied Astronomy. New and potential developments within other networks belonging to different agencies are also considered in the context of widening of Russian section activity in GGOS project. The paper gives a short overview of status, new components and plans, concerning 5 sub-networks of Federal Agency of Scientific Organizations, Roskosmos, Rosstandard, and Rosreestr. Short overview of the plans on creating Data and Analysis Distributed Center is also given
Navigation and information system of precise transport positioning using the GLONASS ground infrastructure
GLONASS
The Globalânaya Navigatsionnaya Sputnikova Sistema
(GLONASS) is a global navigation satellite
system developed by the Russian Federation.
Similar to its US counterpart, the NAVSTAR global
positioning system (GPS), GLONASS provides dualfrequency
L-band navigation signals for civil and
military navigation. Initiated in the 1980s, the
system first achieved its full operational capability
in 1995. Following a temporary degradation,
the nominal constellation of 24 satellites was ultimately
reestablished in 2011 and the system has
been in continued service since then. This chapter
describes the architecture and operations of
GLONASS and discusses its current performance. In
addition, the planned evolution of the space and
ground segment are outlined
