Global positioning satellite (GPS)
GPS tracking on your phone hooks up to a satellite. In case of emergency and 911 is called they use a satellite system to be able to pin point exactly where you are.
I would say they are both highly advanced and are used for tracking things/people but a satellite is more advanced with being able to live in and what not
Telescopes without tracking work just fine when you focus them on the north star. On any other object, however, the view drifts as the earth spins, and the drift get worse the further south one peers. With a manual telescope every minute or two you have to readjust the image to get what you are looking back into the field of view. If you have lots of people lining up to look through your telescope, you have to interrupt them every few minutes to readjust the image. With automatic tracking this problem is alleviated. To make it work you aim the telescope at two or three bright stars, and it can take over from there. Sometimes you also need to tell it your latitude, longitude, date and time, depending on how sophisticated your tracking system is.
A GPS trailing tracking system is a device that finds the exact location of something (i.e: phone, vehicle, ect.) It works by providing satellite signals which are processed by a receiver. These GPS receivers track the exact location of an object. reference: http://www.eetimes.com/design/communications-design/4210115/How-does-a-GPS-tracking-system-work-/
A natural satellite is something that is in orbit of another thing that was placed their by natural means; in other words accidentally. An artificial satellite is something that is in orbit of another thing that was placed their intentionally.
They are important for tracking and mapping points and places.
Not down to the exact degree of latitude/longitude, but you can get pretty close to where the computer using that IP is by tracking the IP.
Satellite tracking devices are best used to locate vehicles in real time. This technology can be useful to companies for tracking shipments. Satellite tracking device can also be useful if you have it installed in your vehicle and your vehicle is stolen. The following website offers some detail as to how this technology works, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracking_device
When radar stations on the Earth monitor the location and movements of satellites, they are said to be tracking the satellites.
Tracking and Data Relay Satellite
You can find satellite tracking devices at any electronic store such as Best Buy or Circuit City. Also, you can always buy them online, for best deals.
Here's a link to a website that offers a lot of interesting information to learn about GPS satellite tracking. http://www.edu-observatory.org/gps/tracking.html
You can determine the position of an object by using coordinate systems such as Cartesian coordinates or latitude and longitude. Additionally, you can use tracking technologies like GPS or radar to pinpoint the exact location of an object.
Yes. As Stated at http://www.liveviewgps.com/gps+satellite+tracking+.html, they are legal and available to the public, for a price of course. You also need proper equipment in order for it to function properly.
