The scientific aspects of Galileo
1 October 2007 - 1 October 2007
France
A colloquium on the scientific and fundamental aspects of the Galileo (satellite navigation) programme will take place in Toulouse, France, from 1 to 4 October.
The colloquium will address three major issues:
- The fundamental aspects of navigation by satellites and Galileo: geodetic and temporal reference frames, relativistic frame, on board and ground clocks, orbits, radiation environment in orbit, inter-satellite links, fundamental aspects of propagation, tropospheric and ionospheric corrections, calibration and validation, relations with international organisations.
- Scientific applications in meteorology, geodesy, geophysics, space physics, oceanography, land surface and ecosystem studies, using either direct or reflected signals, differential measurements, phase measurements, occultation measurements, using receivers placed on the ground, in aeroplanes or in scientific satellites.
- Scientific developments in physics and dealing with future systems, particularly in testing fundamental laws, in astronomy, in quantum communication, and in developing clocks or experiments based on the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).For further information, please visit:
