Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Suppose a GNSS receiver experiences a positive orbital error causing it to report a position 2 meters to the east of its actual location. How would this impact a real-time construction project?

💡 Hint: Consider how precision affects construction alignment.

Question 2

Discuss how implementing different correction methods can minimize orbital errors during GNSS-based agriculture monitoring. What might be the impacts of not using such corrections?

💡 Hint: Think about the applications of GNSS in agriculture.
