Earlier this month, the International Committee on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (ICG) led a hands-on GNSS training at the African Regional Centre for Space Science and Technology Education in Rabat, Morocco.π²π¦
With support from the Center for Spatial Information Science (CSIS) at The University of Tokyo (utokyo_pr), and LocationMind Japan, 30 students and researchers gained practical experience using satellite navigation technologies that support sustainable development and everyday life.
Participants gained hands-on experience in:
π°οΈ GNSS principles, data types, errors and coordinate systems
π‘ High-accuracy GNSS data processing methods
π» RTKLIB, an open-source toolkit for precise positioning
π± Fieldwork using low-cost GNSS receivers and Android mobile devices
One highlight? Participants helped set up a local GNSS base station at CRASTE-LF, supporting edu...
