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.
GPS satellites sit at approximately 20,000 miles from the Earth's surface. They are in a geosynchronous orbit which keeps them in one position constantly.

Has any satellites and robots showed up on Jupiter and what years?
No satellites or robots have ever shown up on Jupiter as far as we know. We have sent our own exploration probes that have passed Jupiter.
How many GPS satellites are in the sky?
best to get intouch with military or nasa to find out
What robots or satellites have explored Saturn?
the Cassinni in 2004
How can you tell that a star isn't a satellite?
You can tell a star from a satellite by observing its behavior in the night sky. Stars twinkle due to atmospheric effects, while satellites move steadily and may even reflect sunlight as they travel across the sky. Stars also maintain a fixed position relative to each other, while satellites appear to move independently.
What is the name of an object that moves across the sky in minutes?
A satellite is an object that moves across the sky in minutes. Satellites are man-made objects that orbit around Earth and can be seen in the night sky as they reflect sunlight.
What satellites can a sky dish pick up?
If you have the correct decoder box, and you know the position in the sky, the sky dish is just a satellite receiver so it can be used to pick up any one that is up there. You may have to change the LMB , I am not sure on that.
Why can't we see satellites orbiting?
Satellites are typically too small and too distant to be visible to the naked eye from the ground. Additionally, they often reflect sunlight in a way that makes them difficult to see against the brightness of the sky. These factors make it challenging to observe satellites orbiting from the surface of the Earth.
Has any satellites and robots showed up on Jupiter and what years?
No satellites or robots have ever shown up on Jupiter as far as we know. We have sent our own exploration probes that have passed Jupiter.
How many satellites in sky?
There are thousands of satellites currently orbiting the Earth. The exact number can vary, as new satellites are launched and old ones are decommissioned regularly.
How high are the sky broadcast satellites?
22,340 miles above the equator.
How many satellites cross the sky in 1 hour?
I think its about 50..
What is up in the blue sky?
the o-zone layer which will choke you if you fly too far up
How are satellites give lights to the planet during the night time?
Satellites don't give light, they reflect it. At night they are high up enough to reflect the Sun's light, particularly in the hours close to sunrise and sunset or in places in the world where the sun is not too far below the horizon. As they fly through the sky they start to reflect sunlight, first getting brighter and then fading again before disappearing. It is easy to know something is a satellite as it looks like a slow moving star that brightens up and then fades again over the course of a few minutes. On a clear night, if you look at the sky long enough you may spot several satellites.
Where is the sky freesat located?
The sky freesat is not located at a designated spot. It can receive channels from several satellites coming from the UK.
How far did the atomic bomb in Hiroshima go up in the sky?
1000 ft.
How far are satelittes from earth?
Satellites in low Earth orbit are typically around 100-1,200 miles (160-2,000 kilometers) from the Earth's surface. Geostationary satellites, which are used for communication and weather monitoring, are approximately 22,236 miles (35,786 kilometers) above the Earth.
Can you see satellites?
Yes, they appear as slowly moving stars in the night sky.
