p(. Before anything else, it is necessary to tackle the origin of navigation and its applications, the creation of the current GNSS with a comparison of different systems and finally, describing the main principles of GPS.

_*Navigation* is a field of study that focuses on the process of monitoring and controlling the movement of a craft or vehicle from one place to another.[1] The field of navigation includes four general categories: land navigation, marine navigation, aeronautic navigation, and space navigation._

Seamark and landmark references > Limited range, Limited accuracy, Low availability of marks, Stars only during night and clear sky.

h3. b- Navigation with classic instruments
21 3 COLIN, Tony
22 3 COLIN, Tony
Magnetic compass, Sextant > Measurement of the height of stars above the horizon providing longitude inaccurately > Use of ephemeris and time reference
23 3 COLIN, Tony
Improvements by combining it with Harrison's clock (Chronometer) providing latitude and longitude with acceptable accuracy.

- *Sputnik* in 1957 : first satellite in the world, orbit estimated using the received signal frequency : Doppler effect.
32 3 COLIN, Tony
- *TRANSIT* from 1958 operational in 1964 : first satellite navigation system for the US Navy.
33 3 COLIN, Tony
- *GPS* program started at 1973 providing position anywhere at anytime.

37 3 COLIN, Tony
_*Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)* is a system of satellites that provide autonomous spatial positioning on Earth with global coverage.
38 3 COLIN, Tony
It allows small electronic receivers to determine their location (longitude/latitude/altitude) to high precision (within a few meters) using time signals transmitted along a line of sight by radio from satellites. 
39 3 COLIN, Tony
Global coverage for each system is generally achieved by a satellite constellation of 20–30 medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites spread between several orbital planes. The actual systems vary, but use orbital inclinations of >50° and orbital periods of roughly 12 hours._

_In geometry, *trilateration* is the process of determining absolute or relative locations of points by measurement of distances, using the geometry ofcircles, spheres or triangles. :_
83 3 COLIN, Tony
1 measurement : 1 sphere of radius D1 centered in Sat1
84 3 COLIN, Tony
2 measurements : intersection of 2 spheres  (D1, Sat1) (D2, Sat2) = Circle 
85 3 COLIN, Tony
3 measurements : intersection of 3 spheres (D1, Sat1) (D2, Sat3) (D2, Sat3) = 2 points (1 often aberrant)
