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.

Do scientists use satellite data to predict earthquakes?
Yes, through the use of global positioning systemsscientists use satellite data to predict earthquakes.
What are the examples of man made satellite?
A GPS satellite. GPS stands for Global Positioning System. The NAVSTARS orbit earth, and emit microwave signals that are received by GPS receivers, which electronically translate the output from the satellites into realtime global position and precision time of day data. There is no example of a GPS satellite, other than a GPS satellite. The United States Government Department of Defense operates the Global Positioning System. It is available for use by citizens of any nation. It is provided free of charge, as a public service to the world. The United States Government is the number one largest contributor of funds, free services and open data meant to make the world a better place. The United States is the largest global contributor to advanced technology, humanitarian international law, peace, justice and truth. The global positioning system is only one example of the incalculable good done by United State's institutions and government.
