Opinion Poll on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)

YGNSS (Youth for GNSS) is a team of students and young professionals which aims to bring maximum benefits of GNSS to the future society.YGNSS is an initiative of the Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC).

As a contribution to the work topic of the International Committee on GNSS (ICG), an international forum for cooperation on Global
Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) recognized by the United Nations, SGAC is carrying out a GNSS Knowledge evaluation opinion poll. The main goal of this poll is to find out how much global youth (between the ages of 18-35) knows about Global Navigation Satellite Systems and to see how it can be creatively used to benefit the society. The results of this poll would be presented and published at relevant international fora.

This is an exciting opportunity to have your opinion counted as a contribution towards international policymaking and therefore, please take a moment to answer the following questions.
