MS GNSS Courses

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) include constellations of Earth-orbiting satellites that broadcast their locations in space and time, of networks of ground control stations, and of receiv-ers that calculate ground positions by trilateration. At present GNSS include two fully operational global systems, the United States’ Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Russian Federation’s GLObal NAvigation Satellite System (GLONASS), as well as the developing global and regional systems, namely Europe’s European Satellite Navigation System (GALILEO) and China’s COMPASS/BeiDou, India’s Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) and Japan’s Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS). Once all these global and regional systems become fully operational, the user will have access to positioning, navigation and timing signals from more than 100 satellites.In addition to these, there are satellite-based augmentation systems, such as the United States’ Wide-area Augmentation System (WAAS), the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS), the Russian System of Di�erential Correction and Monitoring (SDCM), the Indian GPS Aided Geo Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) and Japanese Multi-functional Transport Satellite (MTSAT) Satellite-based Augmentation Systems (MSAS).

MS GNSSThe Masters of Science in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (MS GNSS) at Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Institute of Space Technology, Islamabad is a specialized Master Program structured according to the GNSS curriculum proposed and designed by the United Nations O�ce for Outer Space A�airs (UNOOSA) and o�ered for the very �rst time in Pakistan. The MS GNSS course work consists of eight subjects each of three credit hours covering speci�c areas of GNSS (theory, technology and applications) followed by a six credit hours Thesis. Candidates who wish to pursue their PhD in GNSS are also welcomed.

Institute of Space TechnologyInstitute of Space Technology (IST) was established in 2002 as an educational institution that would impart specialized education in space and related science in Pakistan. In 2002 the institute started o�ering undergraduate degree programs in Aerospace Engineering and Communication Systems Engineering followed by undergraduate programs in the �eld of Material Science and Engineering and Space Science. IST is also o�ering PHD/MS programs in these disciplines. In addition of these indigenous programs IST is collaborating with Beihang University, Northern Polytechnic University, China and University of Surrey, UK to o�er linked programs in several more area as well. The programs o�ered by IST are approved by Higher Education Commission (HEC) and accredited by Pakistan Engineering Council. Over the past decade, IST has state of the art facilities that enhanced research in all educational and training programs. IST is ranked amongst Top 5 engineering universities of Pakistan by HEC.
