GLONASS ground station to be installed in Venezuela

Roscosmos plans to deploy a non-request measuring station (BIS) of the GLONASS system in Venezuela.

This will happen within the framework of an agreement between the governments of Russia and Venezuela. Discuss

BIS was developed by Scientific and ProductionCorporation "Systems of Precision Instrumentation", which is part of Roskosmos. It is an element of the addition to the GLONASS system and is designed to provide high-precision navigation for the end user using PPP technology (Precise Point Positioning), the state corporation notes.

BIS is engaged in continuous monitoring of openspacecraft signals of the global navigation satellite systems GLONASS, GPS, Galileo and Beidou in order to measure current navigation parameters (code pseudo-ranges, signal carrier phase), receive navigation messages from satellites and transmit measurement results and navigation data to the processing center in real time.
