GPS World
The adaptation of GPS for civilian use is the single greatest step taken by the land surveyor, more specifically the advance to real-time kinematic networks. Now unmanned aerial vehicles enable data collection in places thought impossible previously, and laser/LiDAR scanners are on the horizon as the next game-changer. But how did we get here? An understanding of our history can be help us prepare for the future.

This article is about virtual satellites. No, we don't mean physical objects that are almost satellites. That's the common everyday meaning of the word virtual. We mean it in the sense used in computing to describe something that is not physically present but made to appear so by software (and perhaps aided by hardware). The word was first used in this sense by computer scientists in the 1950s in the term virtual memory to describe a memory management technique.

The story has become something of a legend in certain circles. Sometime in the early 1970s, geographers at California State University, Northridge got a tip that hundreds of historical atlases were about to be dumped in the trash up in San Francisco. They decided not to let that happen.
The chair of the department was a man named Robert Lamb. He'd learned that the Sanborn Company was closing its San Francisco office.

Inside GNSS
The U.S. Congress is prepared to deliver the coup de grace to a new rule aimed at protecting the personal information — including the geolocation — of broadband internet users. The move, one of a number aimed at eliminating Obama-era regulations, would slice through months of debate, and federal regulators' own backpedaling, to kill the pro-privacy rule in a way that makes resurrecting it extremely difficult.

John Hugerich still remembers using a base station and setting up a local network for every stockpile calculation and flood elevation. The process was tedious and time-consuming, and, as the project manager of New Jersey-based Hugerich Construction, he often wished for a faster and easier way to get the job done. That was two years ago. Today, Hugerich relies almost exclusively on the SmartNet GNSS network for tasks requiring RTK corrections.

Detecting and predicting lightning just got a lot easier. The first images from a new instrument onboard NOAA's GOES-16 satellite are giving NOAA National Weather Service forecasters richer information about lightning that will help them alert the public to dangerous weather.
The first lightning detector in a geostationary orbit, the Geostationary Lightning Mapper, is transmitting data never before available to forecasters.

Not long ago, I talked here about UAV Cloud Data: We are generating a ton of location data, and need some effective way to store it on the cloud. Two things have to be considered: It needs to be secure, so it cannot be accessed by just anyone, but it also needs to be available to those who are authorized to view and use it. While this is a matter of transmitting large amounts of data to the cloud, it is also a matter of cybersecurity.
