Nigcomsat-1R Satellite-Based Augmentation System(SBAS) Test Bed Trial: A Scientific Explanation | Chapter 6 | Recent Developments in Engineering Research Vol. 11

In October 2016, China Great Wall Industry Corporation and Spacestar Technology Company Ltd of China entered into a cooperative agreement with Nigerian Communications Satellite Ltd on a Nigerian Communications Satellite (NIGCOMSAT-1R) augmentation system using NIGCOMSAT-1R L Band performance test and evaluation of the Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS). A Navigation Overlay Service (NOS) known as the Nigerian Satellite Augmentation System (NS) is provided by the NigComSat-1R Navigation (L-band) payload (NSAS). In order to verify functional specifications, performance validation of units, sub-systems and systems of both the SBAS payload and ground infrastructure before a pilot project demonstration of capabilities and proof-of-concept nationally and extension to other locations and regions of Africa, this paper discusses test bed experimentation conducted together with partners.

An Overview of Global Navigation Satellite and Augmentation Systems | Chapter 5 | Recent Developments in Engineering Research Vol. 11

The value and application of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) has never been greater; demand for both commercial and government projects is increasing; the ownership and operation of a GNSS facility has indeed become a matter of national appreciation. GNSS technology has become popular with a large number of users through global signal availability and continuous service. This article reviews some of the history that led the United States to build its Global Positioning System (GPS) benchmark using electromagnetic waves and reviews the progress that other nations and regions have made in constructing precise positioning systems for navigation.
