How many satellites do you need to have a full GPS signal?

A minimum of 4 satellites is needed to obtain a full GPS signal. These satellites are used to triangulate your position accurately on Earth.


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.


How many geo stationary satellites are needed to cover the earth at a time?

Please be a little more precise in your meaning when you say "cover" the Earth. For radio or TV communications, three satellites in geosynchronous orbit will be visible from any inhabitable locale on the planet. (The polar regions aren't really "inhabitable", and aren't visible from GEO. ) For navigational purposes, more are required. The GPS system requires line-of-site to FOUR satellites at one time in order to give a good "fix" of your position; the USAF uses 27 satellites to accomplish this, anywhere on the Earth.


How many satellites does the receiver need to be fixed on in order to know it's position?

A GPS receiver typically needs signals from at least 3 satellites to calculate a 2D position (latitude and longitude) and 4 or more satellites for a 3D position (latitude, longitude, and altitude). The receiver uses the signals from multiple satellites to triangulate its position on Earth.

What is resolution of cartosat?

Cartosat satellites, part of India's Earth observation program, are equipped with high-resolution imagery capabilities. The resolution of Cartosat-1 and Cartosat-2 is approximately 2.5 meters, while Cartosat-3 offers even higher resolution at about 0.25 meters. These satellites are primarily used for applications such as urban planning, rural development, and disaster management.
