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
What is the acronym for the system of US Department of Defense satellites which are used to establish exact locations on Earth?
GPS
What type of orbit is used by gps satellites subsynchronous or sunsynchronous?
Geostationary satellites are the ones used for GPS satellites.
How many GPS Satellites does the US Deptartment of Defense have?
There are currently 30 healthy GPS satellites in orbit.
How many Indian gps satellites are there in space?
how many satellites present in the space
What is expansion of gps and gis how many satellites are there in gps?
Globle positioning system
What do gps satellites find?
GPS satellites do not 'find' anything, that is not their purpose.
How many satellites are in the GPS array?
Currently 31 in both GPS and GLONASS (Russian navigation system, similar to GPS)
How many satellites are in the GPS?
24 active with 6 spares.
What are two names of satellites?
GPS IIA-1 NAVSTAR 1 (Both GPS satellites)
How many satellites do you need to have a full GPS signal?
At leAst 3
How many satellites are there and how high do they orbit?
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.
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.
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.
