Global Positioning System e relatività

Abstract

La presente nota introduce il sistema di posizionamento globale su base satellitare (Global Positioning System – GPS). Dopo un breve inquadramento storico della tecnologia, la cui origine si può far risalire al lancio del primo satellite artificiale russo Sputnik (ottobre 1957), ed al successivo sistema Transit, della marina militare americana, viene presentato il funzionamento del sistema, con particolare riguardo alle correzioni relativistiche cui è sottoposto il segnale per arrivare all'attuale precisione del posizionamento sul territorio. Al fine di comprendere il fondamento teorico di tali correzioni, sono brevemente ricordate le celebri Teorie della relatività ristretta e generale di Albert Einstein, sottolineando le connessioni della seconda con la geometria non euclidea, che, come è noto, ne ha permesso la formulazione matematica. This paper deals with the Global Positioning System technology (GPS). After a brief historical introduction on GPS origins (from the Russian artificial satellite Sputnik launch in orbit – October 1957 – to the following Transit system of the United States Navy), the system main working is introduced. Particular attention is given to the so called “relativistic effects”, which are corrected by the methodology in order to achieve the nowadays ground positioning precision. Albert Einstein Special and General Relativity theories are then briefly introduced, in order to make the reader understand the theoretic grounding of the relativistic corrections in GPS.
