How do gps satellites monitor faults?
satellite equipped with radar
How accurate is satellite navigation compared to gps?
Satellite Navigation is just as accurate as GPS, having a 1-10 meter buffer zone. Both use a similar system, having satellites in orbit to triangulate a position. Satellite Navigation, better known as GLONASS, is used mostly by the Soviet Union while GPS, is use worldwide and the widest used system.
What is a function of a GPS satellite?
GPS satellites provide location and time information in all weather, anywhere on or near the Earth, where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more 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.
How does a GPS satellite work with a GPS device?
signals from at least 3 satellites send signals to and receive signals from the gps which are then triangulated to give the exact position of the GPS unit. Most GPS units are receive only. That is they must receive positional and timing information from the GPS satellite constellation. The internal processor them computes your position based upon this data(triangulation). Generally receiving data from three or more satellite's is needed to be produce a good fix (your position) but this is also dependent upon the geometry of the satellites. The best fixes are obtained when you have signals from three or more satellites which are geometrically separated by 45 degrees.
How much does a GPS weigh?
1 dam pound
How does gps calculate its positinon?
by satellite.
Where can I find information about gps satellite tracking?
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
what does the phrase gps caddie meaN?
A GPS stands for Global Positioning Satellite and is a device which uses satellite location to determine your position. A caddie is a device which is a container or carrier for another item. As such, a GPS caddie is an item which holds a GPS.
What is the transmission media of GPS?
satellite signals
Can a satellite radio get gps signal?
No. The satellites used to distribute Sirius/XM "satellite" radio operate on frequencies assigned to Sirius/XM "satellite" radio. They don't operate on frequencies allocated to the GPS system.
When was the first GPS satellite launched?
The first Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite, named "Navstar 1," was launched on February 22, 1978.
What kind of signal is used in a GPS satellite?
radio waves
What does nav- mean?
Satellite navigation is what it stands for. But it is called a 'GPS'
Compare to other GPS method is there any other method can replace GPS?
Both Russia and the EU have similar satellite based systems in operation, all you need is a receiver that can decode them. There are already a few navigation receiver models that are multisystem compatible, but they are much more expensive than simple GPS only navigation receivers. Nonsatellite based navigation systems (e.g. LORAN) are much harder to use and much less accurate than GPS and the other satellite based systems similar to it.
Which technology system uses satellite positions to identity locations on earth?
GPS Global Positioning System
How much do gps navigation maps cost?
I think what your referring to is a GPS navigation system. These start at around eighty dollars and go up in price from there. They produce maps as you go by using satellite location.
