Draft Glossary of GNSS Terms for ICG Review

This presentation provides a draft Glossary of GNSS Terms for the International Committee on GNSS (ICG). The proposed glossary aims to support the development of a GNSS Curriculum and will be publicly available through the Programme on Space Applications administered by UNOOSA upon approval. The U.S. suggests the formation of an Ad-Hoc group to finalize the glossary, with a workplan timeline outlined for input, review, and adoption. Modifications to the glossary are expected before approval. The document does not cover terms for GNSS systems other than U.S. GPS, but encourages the use of the term GNSS universally. Participation in the glossary development process is encouraged for all ICG Providers.
