Abstract
Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) are part of the most complex modern space systems humankind has created, and therefore their orbits, orbital parameters, and their two main terrestrial mappings are firstly described. Different frames of space-time reference systems are treated as part of such descriptions.
Communication systems engineering are important sections to allow for a GNSS precise fix positioning. All signal structures and data streams are treated for a clear understanding permitting the reader to see how ranging is obtained from space.
Theoretical and practical error budgets are considered to give the reader a perception of limitations during scientific and/or technical user campaigns or for simple common life enjoyment.
