Best Answer

In the 1960's, the US Military used a satellite-based positioning system called "Transit" or NAVSAT. Originally developed for the ballistic missile program, the system consisted of five to ten satellites (five operational and five back-up) in polar orbits at an average altitude of 600 nautical miles (690 mi. or 1100 km).
