What else can I help you with?
How many GPS Satellites does the US Deptartment of Defense have?
There are currently 30 healthy GPS satellites in orbit.
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.
What is a function of a GPS satellite?
GPS satellites provide location and time information in all weather, anywhere on or near the Earth, where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.
A system made of 25 satellites?
GPS
How long will gps satellites last?
If you taking care of the GPS, It will last about 5 years
Explain how gps satellites are used to monitor faults?
GPS satellites are used to monitor faults by tracking the movements of the Earth's surface. By placing GPS receivers near fault lines, scientists can measure the precise changes in position caused by tectonic movement. This data helps in understanding the rates and directions of fault movements, which can be valuable in assessing earthquake risks.
How do geologists monitor faults?
to monitor faults, geologists have developed instruments to measure changes in elevation, tiliting of the land surface, and ground movements along the faults. Geologists use tiltmeters, Creep Meters, Laser- Ranging Devices, and GPS Satellites.
How are GPS satellites are used to monitors faults?

How do gps satellites work?
GPS satellites work by constantly transmitting signals that are picked up by GPS receivers on Earth. Each satellite sends out signals containing information about its position and the current time. By receiving signals from multiple satellites, a GPS receiver can determine its own position through a process called trilateration, which calculates the intersection point of the satellite signals to pinpoint the receiver's location on Earth.
WHAT is the difference between satrack and gps?
Sattrack is a system used to monitor satellites' positions and orbits, while GPS (Global Positioning System) is a network of satellites that provides location and time information to GPS receivers on Earth. In essence, sattrack is more specific to tracking satellites, whereas GPS is a broader system for determining precise location on Earth.
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.
What are two names of satellites?
GPS IIA-1 NAVSTAR 1 (Both GPS satellites)
Is a GPS a VDU?
No, you cannot display arbitrary video on the screen of a GPS navigation unit and many GPS receivers have no screen (e.g. a GPS tracking recorder used on commercial vehicles).GPS is a system maintained by the US Air Force consisting of 3 segments: the space segment composed of 24 active satellites and 6 idle spare satellites, the ground segment manned by US Air Force officers that monitor and control the satellites remotely, and the user segment composed of receivers that decode the signals from the satellites to calculate latitude, longitude, and elevation.

Explain how satellites can be used to collect data on earthquake faults?
Satellites can be used to collect data on earthquake faults by monitoring ground movements using radar or GPS technology. This data can help track the strain building up along faults over time, which can be crucial for predicting and understanding earthquake activity. Additionally, satellites can provide high-resolution images to identify surface deformations near faults, aiding in seismic hazard assessments.
