GPS satellites are not in Geostationary Orbit (GSO); instead, they operate in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) at an altitude of approximately 20,200 kilometers (about 12,550 miles). This allows them to provide global coverage as they move relative to the Earth's surface. In contrast, GSO satellites maintain a fixed position relative to the Earth, orbiting at approximately 35,786 kilometers (about 22,236 miles) above the equator.

What does a gps satelite do?
A GPS satellite continuously broadcasts signals that allow GPS receivers on the ground to determine their location by measuring the time it takes for the signal to reach them. The satellites also transmit their own precise position and time data to help the receivers calculate their exact location on Earth accurately.
How does gps calculate its positinon?
by satellite.
