Who is responsible for the GPS?
The United States Air Force is. They control the satellites.
Medium earth orbit satellites?
With large number of low-earth-orbit satellites and the geo-synchronous orbit stuffed full of communications satellites, there aren't all THAT many "medium" altitude satellites. But there are some. The GPS navigation satellites, for example, are in highly inclined 12-hour orbits, and an unknown number of military "spy" satellites are in that middle range.
What brand of gps is better?
garmin gps is the best by far! you can find all sorts of accesories and software for them anywhere that gps are sold. also they are the easiest gps unit to use!
How does an artificial satellite stay in orbit once correctly placed above Mars?
They usually get their energy from the Sun, but they may also have a nuclear reactor. That's how they get their energy; how they work in detail would depend on what they are supposed to do. There are satellites for many different purposes.
What is the duration of Fareed Zakaria GPS?
The duration of Fareed Zakaria GPS is 3600.0 seconds.
Who maintains GPS satellites?
GPS satellites are owned by the United States government. The US Department of Defense (DOD) is responsible for GPS operations and management.
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)
What is the most common way trig is used in everyday life?
Global Positioning Systems (GPS) use trigonometry. There are a number of satellites orbiting the earth. The GPS uses the time signals sent by these satellites to establish the distance to the satellites. Trigonometry is then used to find the location of the GPS unit.
How many GPS Satellites does the US Deptartment of Defense have?
There are currently 30 healthy GPS satellites in orbit.
Which layer of the atmosphere do communications satellites orbit?
Most communications satellites operate outside of the earth's atmosphere. The GPS satellites are about 23,000 miles from the surface of the earth.
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.
Do you need a susbscrption to use a gps?
No. GPS Satellites are free to receive.
Can you have a GPS system in Colorado?
You can use a GPS anywhere the satellites shine.
Do you need to be connected to the internet to use the GPS?
No as GPS is obtained from satellites.
