A MALSCE Professional Development Seminar, featuring A. Richard Vannozzi, MS, PLS
Join us for this basic to intermediate level course for practicing surveyors and/or technicians who are coming to terms with the idea that the earth is not flat. Attendees will come to understand the implications of this round earth phenomenon on their measurements, mapping and those other aspects of their daily practice which are being impacted by the sweeping changes afoot in our profession.

News from NSPS
and the
Coalition to Save Our GPS

5//30/12 (from the Coalition via NSPS): Apparently LightSquared has laid off nearly half of its workforce and filed for bankruptcy, but has not let go of any lobbyists.
The Federal government put a lot of the LightSquared news on this very useful website: http://www.gps.gov/spectrum/lightsquared/. NSPS will continue to monitor the issue and we will keep MALSCE members informed as the issue progresses.
