Další řadu rad a návodů naleznete na stránkách Story Maps Developers‘ Corner. Ty jsou určeny zejména těm, kdo hledají užitečné tipy pro vytváření složitějších aplikací. Zajímavá témata jsou zde i pro ty, kterým nevyhovují stávající šablony a chtěli by se pustit do úpravy zdrojového kódu aplikace.
Pokusy o měření úrovně hladiny moře u křivolakého pobřeží nejsou jednoduchým úkolem. Družice ESA CryoSat to ovšem díky svému radarovému výškoměru mění.

Letošní podmořská výcviková mise NASA slibuje být pro kosmonauty delší a lepší, než kdykoliv dříve. Začne 21. července, přičemž kosmické agentury v jejím rámci budou testovat technologie a zkoumat chování mezinárodní posádky během dlouhodobé mise. Stane se tak na trvale ponořené podmořské základně u břehů Floridy.

European GNSS Agency (GSA) funds 14 projects to help foster the implementation of EGNOS-based operations and LPV-200 procedures at European airports as part of its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants.
The GSA recently announced the projects selected for funding under its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/EEX.0030/2015. This second call brought great results, with 14 projects selected for funding, starting from July and August 2016.
The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)-based operations, including LPV-200 (localiser performance with vertical guidance) procedures, at different European aerodromes, with an emphasis on the regional airports and heliports that general and business aviation operators depend upon.
In addition, the call also aims to support the development and installation of GPS/EGNOS-enabled avionics and grant airworthiness certification for required navigation performance approach (RNP APCH) procedures down to LPV minima and point in space (PinS), and to achieve the approval of Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) capabilities.
Specifically, the following results are expected:
“These grants will ensure more European airports and more European operators are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures, meaning increased safety and more accessibility for everyone,” says GSA Head of Market Development GG Calini.
The total budget for the second call was EUR 6 million.
