Abstract
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is a system which uses the satellites to provide geo-spatial positioning. It allows the receivers to determine their location (i.e. latitude, longitude and altitude) and time up to very high precision. The most common GNSS is the Global Positioning System(GPS) which is developed by USA. Russia’s GLONASS is also a fully functional GNSS. Other GNSS include BeiDou Navigation System of China and Galileo of the European Union. India (ISRO) has recently developed and launched the Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System(IRNSS). This paper analyses the basic performance indicators such as data quality, data usability, uncertainty in position and the uncertainty in time of the data provided by the IRNSS receivers.
