The goal
Improving theoretical and practical knowledge acquired in the undergraduate level, in the wider field of Satellite geodesy, with the aim of a deeper understanding of positioning methods using satellite systems GPS, GLONASS and GALILEO.
The outcome
Students have learned to apply GNSS technology for positioning purposes, using a variety of positioning models. They are familiar with the models of data processing and estimation of the accuracy of the obtained results.
