Kinematics and dynamics of motion, Newton‘s laws of motion, Newton‘s gravitational law, law of refraction and reflection of the light, wave dispersion, methods of modulation of waves, field of dissipative forces, physical conditions in Earth‘s atmosphere.

Students' knowledge is continuously verified in exercises by assigning independently solved problems.
Knowledge at the end of the semester is verified by an exam. It has a written and an oral part. The condition for admission to the oral part is obtaining at least 50% of points in the written part. 

Lectures are optional, attendance at excercises is compulsory. 

Introducing students to space geodesy, especially global navigation satellite systems. Students will learn about the dynamics of the motion of a satellite in orbit around the Earth, the propagation of electromagnetic signals in the atmosphere and their processing for the purpose of determination of the receiver's position on the Earth.

The aim of the course is to deepen students' knowledge in the field of space geodesy, especially in the field of global navigation satellite systems.
The student will:
- understand the dynamics of satellite motion in orbit around the Earth,
- know the principles of different types of satellite measurements,
- have a detailed knowledge of the most important GNSS (GPS, Glonass, Galileo, BeiDou),
- understand the principles of the various GNSS positioning methods
- understand the importance of ground support systems for GNSS,
- understand methods of modelling errors and minimising their impact on results,
- be able to process GNSS measurements for geodetic purposes.
