俄新網RUSNEWS.CN莫斯科4月7日電 美國空軍代表麥克·克魯斯(Mark Crews)上校7日在莫斯科開幕的衛星導航定位技術大會上透露,美國新型全球衛星定位系統(GPS)在接受信號方面將兼容俄羅斯GLONASS-K全球衛星導航系統。 克魯斯上校指出,美國正在研制的新型全球衛星定位系統在民用用戶信號接收方面將兼容俄羅斯新型GLONASS-K全球衛星導航系統。 他說,2006年雙方就此問題簽署了相應的相互諒解備忘錄。現在進一步發展這項備忘錄的兩國工作小組定期舉行會議。 克魯斯上校表示,現在確定地面用戶方位的精確範圍為57厘米。而發射"3A"新型衛星將使確定坐標的精確範圍提高到0.25厘米。

Russia's satellite navigation market may be worth $6 bln by 2015

MOSCOW, April 7 (RIA Novosti) - Russia's satellite navigation services market will be worth 160 billion rubles ($6.6 billion) by 2015, the general director of the Russian Institute of Radio Navigation said on Monday.
Sergei Pisarev said Glonass users would make up around 7% of Russia's population. Glonass is the acronym for the Global Navigation Satellite System, the Russian equivalent of the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS). Designed for military as well as civilian use, both systems allow users to identify their positions in real time.
A satellite production corporation official said last month a fully operational Glonass system would consist of 30 Glonass-M and Glonass-K satellites by 2010.
The system currently consists of 18 satellites and is designed to provide navigation and positioning data covering the whole territory of the Russian Federation.
Another six satellites will be added to the Glonass system in 2008, and the first two improved Glonass-K satellites are set to be launched in 2009.
The future modification, Glonass-K, which will be operational for 10 years, is expected to orbit from 2010. Glonass-K is an entirely new model based on a non-pressurized platform, standardized to the specifications of the previous models' platform, Express-1000.
A total of 9.88 billion rubles ($380 million) was allocated for Glonass from the federal budget in 2007, and 4.7 billion ($181 million) in 2006.
