The last two decades have seen global navigation satellite systems travel a veritable odyssey in search of new markets. In addition to its military
uses, GPS took up the surveying and timing applications of the former Transit satnav system even before the new satellite constellation was
fully in place. Marine, land, and air navigation followed, then mapping and geographic information systems, vehicle tracking and agriculture.
Pretty soon, it seemed like the whole world was tuning in to GNSS frequencies. By the mid-1990s, Russia’s Glonass had added new signal-in-
space resources exploited in combination receivers.
In the decade ahead, Europe’s proposed Galileo system could provide a redundant and expanded GNSS capability that will accelerate
the penetration of new market segments, especially E-911, advanced traveler information, and other location-based services for consumers.
This panel discussion will draw on perspectives and expertise of noted private industry leaders to explore the present dimensions and future
prospects of GNSS products and services in the global marketplace.

Speaker Luncheon: Ponder With Portney
Wednesday, Sept. 12; Noon - 2 p.m.
Throughout his career, Joe Portney has maintained a passion for historic navigational
events and puzzles. Portney will address the navigator’s dilemma: Where are we?
Where are we going? How do we get there? Did Columbus find longitude on his voyages to the new
world? How could Peary navigate to the North Pole without using his sextant? How close
could Byrd attain the Pole? How did Graf Zepplin beat the great circle route in its circumnavigation
of the world? How high can a mountain be? These and other intriguing ponderables await!
Special Note: A limited number of complimentary copies of Joe Portney’s book, Portney’s Ponderables, will be distributed by Litton Guidance & Control Systems from exhibit booth #229 from 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. Wednesday night during the Exhibitor Hosted Reception.
This event is included in the price of a full registration. Tickets for partial registrants and guests may be purchased using the registration form included on the inside back-cover of this program.

Olympic Tour This tour will focus on the Olympic Winter Games. We begin at the Delta Center, site of hockey and figure skating and continue to the site of the Olympic ceremonies - The Rice Eccles Stadium. On the way to the Park City skiing venues, you’ll be able to view the new Olympic video via bus monitors. You will then visit the fascinating Olympic Sports Park and see spectacular views of the Rocky Mountains from a dramatic vantage point. At the park, you will see the bobsled, luge runs, ski jump, and Nordic tracks. Former Olympic athletes will be on hand to share their experiences in training, defeats, and successes. The tour will finish off with a stop at a great interactive center with an Olympic Gift shop. Last on the tour, an hour-long stop in downtown Park City to see the sights and shop before heading back to Salt Lake. |
Autumn in the City We will start our day out at Trolley Square, whose converted barns - once the home of Salt Lake’s first electrical trolley system - now house upscale stores in an upscale shopping area. On to lunch at Utah’s finest mountain dining, Log Haven. Serenely nestled among pines, waterfalls and wildflowers, Log Haven is a beautiful log mansion built in 1920 by a member of the Metropolitan Opera Company as an anniversary present for his wife. Situated on 40 private acres, the scenery is breathtaking, the setting and ambiance incredible, and the cuisine is unparalleled. (Log Haven was recently named Best Salt Lake Restaurant.) Then on to a tour of the Governor’s mansion, which is the largest in the U.S. at 17,000 square feet. The grounds are breathtaking, and the mansion itself is charming. |

Temple Square is the symbolic heart of the world-wide Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints, the Mormons. The Square includes the six-spired Temple, Tabernacle, Assembly Hall,
information centers, gardens, and monuments. All of the buildings are open to the public with
the exception of the Temple itself which is considered sacred to the Mormons. Daily tours of
Temple Square are available from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m, seven days a week beginning at the
Square’s three entrances.
The Tabernacle at Temple Square is the home of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. The dome-shaped
building is so acoustically sensitive that a pin dropped at one end can be heard at the other
end 170 feet away. The choir’s magnificent organ is also recognized as one of the world’s
greatest instruments. The choir was originally organized around campfires in 1847 during the
pioneers’ westward trek. Members of the Choir are selected on basis of character and musical
competence. The internationally recognized choir has performed throughout the world. The
choir can be heard twice weekly, Sunday at 9:30 a.m (you must be in your seat by 9:15 a.m.), and Thursday at 8
p.m. Tabernacle pipe organ recitals can be heard Monday through Saturday
at noon and Sunday at 2 p.m. Concerts last 30 minutes and are free.
The Beehive House was home of Brigham Young, Salt Lake City’s founder. The house dates
back to 1845 and is a National Historic landmark. The house is open Monday through
Saturday from 9:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Hansen Planetarium is one of the best known and most innovative planetariums in the world.
It offers two floors of free exhibits (including rock brought back from the moon) and a domed
theater that entertains and informs audiences with spectacular star shows, live stage plays and
laser/music shows. For show schedules and information, phone (801) 538-2104.
The Family History Library is the largest genealogical library in the world. The library is
a wonderful place to spend an afternoon researching your family’s history. There are volunteers
on staff at the library who will be happy to give you a tour or answer any family history
questions you might have. The library is open free of charge on Monday from 7:30 a.m. - 6 p.m., Tuesday
through Friday from 7:30 a.m. - 10 p.m., and Saturday from 7:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Snowbird, Park City, and Sundance are all examples of world-class resorts within a 40-
minute drive of Salt Lake City. Utah is also home to five national parks and serves as the gateway
to eleven national parks. In addition, amusement parks are located within a thirty mile
radius of the city.
Trolley Square once served as headquarters to Salt Lake City’s historic transportation system.
Today, these beautifully restored, mission-style trolley carbarns serve as home to Utah’s premier
shopping, dining and entertainment center.
Pioneer Park marks the end of the 1,300 mile trail used by Mormon pioneers and others in
their move west. The park includes the "This is the Place" Monument and a recreated pioneer
village.
The Heber Valley Railroad’s historic steam train features authentically restored vintage coaches
and a working steam locomotive originally built in 1904. The line follows track which was created
in 1899 by Rio Grande Western. Because the tracks follow a two percent grade, and the trains
moved so slowly, the train became known to early passengers as the "Heber Creeper."
Nostalgic train excursions into the Old West are available. For ticket information call 581-9980
(in Salt Lake City) or (435)-654-5601.
In September, temperatures average 80-85 degrees (days), 50-55 degrees (evenings) Fahrenheit.
Meeting room temperatures vary. For comfort, we recommend you dress in layers.
Utah’s liquor laws are unique but easy to understand. After noon, alcoholic beverages
may be ordered with a meal in most restaurants. Ask for a menu. Mixed drinks are
served at Utah’s non-exclusive private clubs throughout the day. Visitors are welcome
and may purchase a two-week membership to most private clubs for $5. Taverns and
lounges sell beer only. You must be at least 21 years of age to purchase alcoholic beverages.
