It's impressive that civil GPS discussions reach back through so
many meetings. Any idea when the 1st CGSIC meeting was held?
Probably 1986:
Cool. Thanks!
Proceedings of the 1991 National Technical Meeting of the Institute
of Navigation
January 22 - 24, 1991 Sheraton San Marcos Hotel Phoenix, AZ
Argh! Another meeting I could have attended easily if I only knew it
existed.
GPS as a project dates back to the mid-70's, right?
Started in 1973.
With completion in the early 90's?
How do you define "completion"? Reaching FOC (full operational
capability)? Then, July 17, 1995.
Even a bit longer than I thought. So it took GPS 22 years and they're
still talking about it 14 years after that. We've only been talking
since 1999. We have 26 years to go!
