Learning outcomes
Familiarization with the general principles of construction and functioning of global satellite positioning systems, study of the means and methods of modern geodetic measurements using global satellite positioning systems and the order of their application in shooting works.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Successful completion of courses: "Topography with the basics of geodesy", "Introduction to geoinformatics". "Fundamentals of opto-electronics", "Topographic surveys". 2. Knowledge of theoretical and practical foundations of geodesy, radio wave physics, geoinformation systems and technologies. 3. Possession of working skills in the ArcGIS software environment.
Course content
The course consists of two content modules. The first is devoted to the study of the theoretical foundations of the construction and functioning of global satellite positioning and navigation systems, coordinate systems used in satellite positioning systems, factors affecting the accuracy of geodetic measurements by satellite methods. The second is directly related to the mechanism of carrying out geodetic measurements with modern satellite geodetic instruments, the features of the functioning of the global satellite positioning systems GPS and GLONASS and Galileo when applied to solve geodetic problems, the procedure for creating geodetic networks by satellite methods. The discipline "Fundamentals of satellite technologies" is one of the basic disciplines of the practical direction, which forms the skills of creating geodetic networks using satellite methods.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course includes 2 meaningful educational modules. Classes are held in the form of lectures and laboratory work. The discipline ends with an exam (in the 4th semester). During the semester, after the completion of the first content module, a thematic written test is conducted. In order to determine the level of achievement of learning outcomes provided for in clauses 2.1 - 2.4, students demonstrate the results of their work and demonstrate acquired skills during laboratory classes. For students who during the semester did not reach the minimum grade level (60% of the maximum possible number of points), a final test is conducted, the maximum grade for which cannot exceed 40% of the final grade (up to 40 points on a 100-point scale). The condition for receiving a positive final grade in the discipline is to achieve at least 60% of the maximum possible number of points.
Assessment methods and criteria
The maximum number of points on the exam is 40 points, the minimum number of points that are added to the semester ones is 24 points (60% of the maximum number of points assigned to the exam). Students who scored a total of less points than the critical calculation minimum - 20 points are not allowed to take the exam. The recommended minimum for admission to the exam is 36 points. A student is admitted to the exam on the condition that all the laboratory works provided for in the plan are completed. For works not submitted by the specified deadline, 2 points are deducted for each day of delay.
