The U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS) constellation of satellites plays a major role in regional and global studies of Earth. In the face of continued growth and diversification of GPS applications, the world wide scientific community has made an effort to promote international standards for GPS data acquisition and analysis, and to deploy and operate a common comprehensive global tracking system. As part of this effort, the International GPS Service (ISGS), along with a multinational membership of organizations and agencies, provides GPS orbits, tracking data, and other high-quality GPS data and data products on line in near real time to meet the objectives of a wide range of scientific and engineering applications and studies. 1, record 10, English, - International%20GPS%20Service

The modern concept of inertial navigation and inertial guidance systems has been made possible by the development of the precision gyroscope. It remains the heart of an inertial guidance system and system performance is directly related to the ability of the gyroscope to provide a precision inertial frame in which to reference the accelerometers used to measure the forces acting on the vehicle or missile being guided from a position A to a position B. 5, record 17, English, - inertial%20guidance%20system

Le pilote automatique [...] Au nombre de trois, les gyroscopes assurent la stabilisation d'une plate-forme sur laquelle sont montés des accéléromètres très sensibles, mesurant les écarts et orientant les gouvernes pour corriger ces écarts, sans envoi ou réception électroniques d'aucune sorte. En conséquence, aucun repère terrestre ou céleste ne leur est nécessaire. Ce système de guidage, dit par inertie, est donc invulnérable au brouillage électronique. 3, record 17, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20guidage%20par%20inertie
