Directions 2001 - GNSS Greets a New Millennium - We posed this question to more than 30 influential members of the GNSS community from around the world: "Something wonderful is about to happen with global navigation satellite systems. What is your vision of this new world of GNSS modernization, augmentation and expansion?" Some answered optimistically, some guardedly, and others warned of possible threats to the integrity and growth of satellite navigation, positioning, and timing.| 2000

FEATURES - PRESERVING THE PAST: GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGIES COMBINE TO DOCUMENT AND PROTECT HISTORIC BUILDINGS - National monuments and historic structures stand as testaments to a country's history and as reminders for generations to come. Unfortunately, the forward arrow of time and unforgiving natural elements can turn once-robust fortifications into fragile, weathered structures. Therefore, to better protect these resources, the US National Park Service is using geospatial technologies to document the past, enabling managers to maintain these landmarks for the futureMcCarthy, Deidre et al. | 2000

FEATURE - DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH: RTK DGPS A GEM FOR ALEXKOR'S OFFSHORE MINING - With diamonds one of the most sought-after gemstones in the world and the west coast of South Africa a notoriously difficult region to navigate, Alexander Bay-based diamond mining company Alexkor Ltd had plenty of reasons to invest in a tracking system that could ensure not only that its offshore crews returned safely to port, but so too did its diamonds. By placing real-time kinematic differential GPS units on its vessels and monitoring progress on shore, the company has enhanced security and improved overall operational efficiencyWiggett, Carel et al. | 2000

FEATURES - EYES OF ARGUS -- GEOREFERENCED IMAGERY IN URBAN ENVIRONMENTS - When a team of researchers with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Computer Graphics Group set to the task of developing a new method of reconstructing three-dimensional (3D) models of urban environments, they used GPS and other navigation technologies to create Argus, a novel sensor named after the 100-eyed creature of Greek mythology. Argus acquires georeferenced imagery of its surroundings, in this case, the MIT campus, with a high-resolution digital camera, and through a suite of algorithms, creates 3D, computer-aided design models that mimic reality. These models are valuable for myriad applications, including architecture, urban planning, and real-life simulationsBosse, Michael et al. | 2000

FEATURES - SEISMIC SURVEYS - GETTING GEOPHYSICAL WITH GPS - Scouts traipsing through deep forests, grassy bogs, and cultivated familand, leaving nary a footprint along the way; helicopters slinging equipment from site to site, easily hitting the X that marks the spot - The GPS X, that is, visible only on the pilot's display. Geophysical survey crews investigate Alberta, Canada's Rocky Mountains to assess the area's oil and natural gas reservoirs. Using the latest technologies -- Geophones to determine subsurface structures, inertial navigation systems to move through forests, and GPS to guide people and equipment throughout the project -- These teams efficiently size up the situation while at the same time minimizing their environmental impactChatenay, Allan et al. | 2000

FEATURE - THIS IS ROCKET SCIENCE -- MULTIPLE PAYLOAD TRACKING IN SPACE - In the first use of GPS to simultaneously track multiple objects in space, NASA used precise position, time, and velocity to time-tag data, analyse vehicle performance, locate payload to be recovered, improve safety on the ranges, and slave data for radar-optical acquisition. The space agency will now apply this knowledge to satellite formation flying, docking spacecraft and collision avoidance.Bull, Barton et al. | 2000

FEATURES - GONE TO THE DOGS - GPS AIDS SEARCH AND RESCUE OPERATIONS - A dog's superior ability to sniff out a human scent trail, even in rugged environments, has made the animal a valuable part of many search and rescue efforts. GPS's superior ability to pinpoint location and clearly delineate areas that have been covered by someone carrying a receiver has made it an equally valuable tool for finding lost persons. To ice the cake, a park ranger with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources has combined the two using a pack-mounted GPS on the dog and himself. Successful trials point to a promising future for GPS-and canine-aided search and rescueFisher, Rick et al. | 2000

ARTICLES - BOTH SIDES NOW -- A WGS 84 ORTHOMETRIC HEIGHT OF MOUNT EVEREST - A 1998 survey sponsored by the National Geographic Society and the Chinese government collected GPS data sets near the top of Earth's highest peak. In 1999, another NGS team collected GPS data on the peak itself. Using this data, joint U.S.-Chinese computations established the orthometric height of Mount Everest as 8,850 meters within the WGS 84 (World Geodetic System, 1984) coordinate system.Kumar, Muneendra et al. | 2000

GALILEO - THE PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP - Galileo, Europe's proposed contribution to a Global Navigation Satellite System, is working its way through a "definition phase" on the way to a go-no-go decision in December. One of the things that's being defined is the relationship between public and private participants in the project. Here's an industry view from some of Galileo's private partnersGallimore, John et al. | 2000
