Yes, there are currently multiple GPS satellites in orbit that provide positioning, navigation, and timing services globally. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is maintained by the United States and typically consists of around 30 operational satellites, ensuring that at least four satellites are visible from any point on Earth at any time. These satellites transmit signals that allow GPS receivers to calculate precise locations. The system is continuously being updated and improved to enhance accuracy and reliability.
What else can I help you with?
What do gps satellites find?
GPS satellites do not 'find' anything, that is not their purpose.
How far up in the sky are satellites?
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.
How many satellites does the GPS system run off of?
There are currently 32 satellites, a gps system needs to receive a signal from at least 3 of them to function. Older systems only used 3-4 but new systems can use up to all 32 the more satellites that a system uses....the greater the accuracy.
What are the names of currently popular artificial satellites?
Some currently popular artificial satellites include the Hubble Space Telescope, the International Space Station (ISS), and the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites. These satellites serve various purposes such as astronomy research, space exploration, and providing navigation services.
How many GPS satellites are required to triangulate a plan-form position?
You would need at least three GPS satellites to pinpoint your location. However, you would need a fourth to also identify your elevation.
How many GPS Satellites does the US Deptartment of Defense have?
There are currently 30 healthy GPS satellites in orbit.
How many satellites are in the GPS array?
Currently 31 in both GPS and GLONASS (Russian navigation system, similar to GPS)

Examples of artificial satellites?
First was sputnik, but anything from the Direct TV and XM radio satellites and telecommunication, GPS to the International Space Station are artificial satellites in Earth Orbit. There are artificial satellites currently in orbit around other planets as well.
What type of orbit is used by gps satellites subsynchronous or sunsynchronous?
Geostationary satellites are the ones used for GPS satellites.
How many satellites are there and how high do they orbit?

What is meant by Global Positioning Satellite?
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.

What are two names of satellites?
GPS IIA-1 NAVSTAR 1 (Both GPS satellites)

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.
