Products that rely on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) have become an essential part of daily life for millions of people around the world. In addition to enabling navigation, these constellations of satellites and the signals they transmit provide a global, precise timing source, used in everything from electrical power grid phasing to synchronization of financial networks. This colloquium introduces the concept of radio navigation, describes the features of GNSS signals that make navigation possible, and explains how these signals are processed by GNSS receivers. The resulting measurements and error sources, such as atmospheric effects and multipath, are discussed. Special consideration is given to the challenges of using GNSS in space, and the innovations that make it possible. A survey of space applications and recent flight experiences is provided. Active areas of research are discussed, including the use of GNSS for missions to the Moon.
