Satellite navigation and GPS (the Global Positioning System) is becoming an increasingly important part of our everyday lives.  But what makes the system work? 

The Physics of Staellite Positioning is fascination.  From Keplerian Elements and relativistic problems, through to power supplies and time, Physics is core to being able to find our position with satellites.

This session will introduce the Physics involved in Satellite Positioning and allow your students to get outside and hands on with some GPS equipment.
