However, India’s unique geographical features also render its population vulnerable to the adverse effects …
Part 1 – the global case When you check directions on your smartphone or track your morning run, you’re tapping into a global infrastructure that has revolutionized not just navigation, but our understanding of Earth itself. What began as military technology has evolved into powerful scientific tools that confirm longstanding theories and reveal previously unobservable phenomena. In this post, we’ll explore how this remarkable technology developed into the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) we know today—an intricate network of satellites …
