SAŽETAK. Podaci prikupljeni svemirskim misijama pohranjuju se i pružaju korisnicima na korištenje kroz arhive pojedinih svemirskih agencija te specijal-izirane portale svemirskih misija. Korisnici često nailaze na brojne probleme pri-likom pretraživanja i preuzimanja podataka od interesa, unatoč tome što je pris-tup podacima neograničen za sve skup...

The fast urbanization that we are witnessing today worldwide has led to the fact that more than half of the world's population lives in cities. Relying on broad and rapid technological progress, the concept of smart cities was developed. This concept brings together information and communication technology with various physical devices connected to...

CROPOS as Croatian national permanent GNSS network was established in 2008. At that time the network consisted of 30 stations evenly distributed across national territory at an average distance of 70 km between stations providing observations of two fully operational global navigation satellite systems: GPS and GLONASS. In the meantime, CROPOS as a...
