Abstract
It was anticipated that the performances of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and GLONASS would have been affected during the entry of comet 55p (Temple-Tuttle). The GPS/GLONASS signals were therefore monitored at a pre-surveyed location of the National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi during this period. A significant degradation in the positioning accuracy in the GPS/GLONASS mixed mode was observed. The normal accuracy was found to have been restored about 25 h after the event. The reasons for these anomalies have not yet been ascertained
