Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) provide accurate positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) information for industrial, consumer and military applications. This book provides a primer for students and professionals looking to understand the basic concepts behind GNSS and how they enable autonomy. Easy-to-read descriptions and illustrations of how GNSS signals and information are used for PNT provide the reader with a solid foundation of GNSS fundamentals. Topics covered include the equipment required, sources of GNSS error and correction techniques, and threats to GNSS signals and mitigation solutions. The book also includes how GNSS is combined with other sensor technologies such as inertial navigation systems (INS), laser (LiDAR), sound (radar) and vision (cameras) to enhance navigation and situational awareness for autonomy. Written by GNSS experts at Hexagon's Autonomy and Positioning division, a global leader in assured autonomy and positioning, the third edition includes updates to the various GNSS constellations (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo and more), recent technology advancements to enhance PNT accuracy, and a new chapter on the growing field of automotive autonomy. Real-life applications across transportation, agriculture, mining, marine, unmanned vehicles, defence, survey and more demonstrate how GNSS and autonomy are enabling a sustainable future. With a foreword by Dr. Robert Thirsk, renowned Canadian astronaut, doctor and engineer, this book is sure to inspire the next generation of explorers - on and off the Earth!

Children love Emperor penguins, because they're cute and funny. In PENGUINS READY TO GO, GO, GO!, children will discover how these waddling birds--that "never, ever fly"--are amazingly adapted to living in Earth's most extreme environment. The book transports children to the frozen continent of Antarctica, where Emperor penguins not only waddle, but sled on their bellies across the ice, dive deep in the ocean, trek over long distances, huddle against snowy blizzards, and even make bubbles with their feathers, to survive and raise their fluffy chicks.Rhyming verses full of penguin surprises and movement, and expanded STEM-rich backmatter, let readers and soon-to-be-readers explore Emperors' wild, wintry world. You-are-there photos, by scientists and photographers on the Antarctic sea ice and in the polar ocean (some photos never published for children before), capture all kinds of penguin motion: leaping out of the ocean after diving for food, checking on an egg carried on a parent penguin's feet, running with a scientist on the ice, and more.PENGUINS READY TO GO, GO, GO! spotlights how scientists are discovering the penguins' secrets, like how Emperors use underwater bubble streams to speed through the ocean and launch themselves up, out, and back onto the ice. Scientists have also found how Emperor penguins use a kind of teamwork by constantly shuffling, step by step, through their huddle so all the penguins get a turn in the warm center.In the book, children can learn how climate change is melting sea ice, now making Emperor penguins a threatened species, and how people around the world can help protect and conserve these much-loved birds.
