What do gps satellites find?
GPS satellites do not 'find' anything, that is not their purpose.
How far up in the sky are satellites?
There are currently 32 GPS satellites Orbiting earth at 20,000Kms above sea level There are also 24 GLONASS satellites (The russian version of a GPS satellite) Which many high end GPS receivers will use in conjunction with the standard GPS satellites. These orbit a little lower than GPS at arond 19,000Kms above sea level. There are 4 Galileo Satellites, which are currently un used, but are the start of the European satellite constealltion which is a work in progress. They orbit at 24,000Kms above sea level. On top of all that, there are 10 Chinese navigation satellites called COMPASS orbiting in an orbit above China and Asia. They orbit at around 21,000 Kms above sea level.
How many Indian gps satellites are there in space?

What is expansion of gps and gis how many satellites are there in gps?
Globle positioning system
Where does gps reciver get its signal?
from satellites in orbit.
How many GPS Satellites does the US Deptartment of Defense have?
There are currently 30 healthy GPS satellites in orbit.
What are some of the benefits of satellites in everyday life?
Benefits can range anywhere from GPS Tracking to Television Broadcasting.
How many satellites are in the GPS array?
Currently 31 in both GPS and GLONASS (Russian navigation system, similar to GPS)
What do gps satellites find?
GPS satellites do not 'find' anything, that is not their purpose.
What type of orbit is used by gps satellites subsynchronous or sunsynchronous?
Geostationary satellites are the ones used for GPS satellites.
How many satellites are there and how high do they orbit?

What is meant by Global Positioning Satellite?
A Global Positioning satellite is one of several satellites that orbit the earth constantly broadcasting a signal the give their location. Collectively these satellites are called the Globle Positioning System or GPS. Global Positioning means the system is used to determine your position on the globe -- your latitude and longitude. GPS receivers can receive signals from these satellites and use them to calculate where on the earth the receiver (and thus the person with the receiver) is. Visit the links below for more information on GPS satellites.
What are two names of satellites?
GPS IIA-1 NAVSTAR 1 (Both GPS satellites)
Examples of artificial satellites?
First was sputnik, but anything from the Direct TV and XM radio satellites and telecommunication, GPS to the International Space Station are artificial satellites in Earth Orbit. There are artificial satellites currently in orbit around other planets as well.
Where are GPS satellite signals processed?
GPS signals are processed in the GPS unit and displayed, and they are also processed via three Global Position Satellites. All four units work together and process GPS signals (some to the satellites from the GPS, and some from the satellites to the GPS) to create an accurate position.
How does a GPS (Global Positioning System) work?
A GPS works by satellites that are located in outer space. These satellites are connected with cameras that show the whole earth. You GPS and the satellites systems are working together to provide maps for you.
