The aim of the course:
The main objective of this course is to teach systems related to satellite geodesy in detail.
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : sound understanding about coordinate systems in satellite geodesy.21,3,
PO - 2 : sound understanding about satellite systems in satellite geodesy.21,3,
PO - 3 : generate navigation data and determine 3-D coordinates in geodetic networks using GPS observations.41,3,
PO - 4 : test coordinate systems using GPS observations41,3,
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), PO : Learning Outcome
