Other Satellite Navigation Systems - Understanding GPS: Principles and Applications - page 630

Acknowledgments

The information on GLONASS was a revised and updated version of material pub-
lished originally in the first edition of this topic (Chapter 10 of Understanding
GPS—Principles and Applications , pp. 439-465). The coauthors of Chapter 10
were Scott Feairheller, Richard Clark, and Jay Purvis, all of whom worked for the
U.S. Air Force in 1996. The primary source for former Chapter 10 was “Russia's
Global Navigation Satellite System,” which was produced under U.S. Air Force
Contract Number F33657-90-D-0096. The authors would like to thank all the con-
tributors and participants involved in that effort. The contract was performed by
ANSER (Washington, D.C.) with some assistance from the Russian Space Agency.
ANSER assembled a team of Russian GLONASS experts in Russia to compile and
author the report. The Russian authors included: V. F. Cheremisin, V. A. Bartenev,
and M. F. Reshetnov of the NPO Prikladnoy Mekhaniki (Applied Mechanics); Y. G.
Gouzhva and V. V. Korniyenko of the Russian Institute of Radio Navigation and
Time; N. E. Ivanov and V. A. Salishchev of the Scientific Research Institute of Space
Device Engineering; Y. V. Medvedkov of the Russian Space Agency; V. N.
Pochukaev of the Central Scientific Research Institute of Machine Building; M. N.
Krasilshikov and V. V. Malyshev of the Moscow Aviation Institute; V. I. Durnev, V.
L. Ivanov, and M. Lebedev of the Russian Space Forces; and V. P. Pavlov of the
Flight Control Center. The team from ANSER included E. N. O'Rear and R. Turner
from the Arlington office and S. Hopkins, R. Dalby, and D. Van Hulle from the
Moscow office. In addition, the authors would like to thank the following naviga-
tion experts who reviewed the initial draft of the ANSER report and provided many
valuable comments: P. Misra of Lincoln Laboratory; L. Chesto, former Chairman of
RTCA Special Committee 159; and J. Danaher and Jacques Beser, formerly of 3S.
