SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -A GPS (global positioning system) unit uses information from United States satellites to provide an accurate location almost anywhere on Earth. The global positioning system (GPS) is a network of satellites and receiving devices used to determine the location of something on Earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based radio-navigation system consisting of a constellation of satellites broadcasting navigation signals and a network of ground stations and satellite control stations used for monitoring and control.

Detailed explanation-3: -Constellation Arrangement GPS satellites fly in medium Earth orbit (MEO) at an altitude of approximately 20, 200 km (12, 550 miles). Each satellite circles the Earth twice a day. Expandable 24-Slot satellite constellation, as defined in the SPS Performance Standard.

Detailed explanation-4: -Satellite Navigation is based on a global network of satellites that transmit radio signals from medium earth orbit. Users of Satellite Navigation are most familiar with the 31 Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites developed and operated by the United States.

Detailed explanation-5: -Each satellite transmits low radio signals with a unique code on different frequencies, allowing the GPS receiver to identify the signals. The main purpose of these coded signals is to allow for calculating travel time from the satellite to the GPS receiver.

Detailed explanation-6: -GPS is a global navigation satellite system (GNSS); the location of a user can be determined using GPS receivers that receive signals from at least four satellites at an altitude of 20 km.

Detailed explanation-7: -The Global Positioning System (GPS), originally Navstar GPS, is a satellite-based radio navigation system owned by the United States government and operated by the United States Space Force.
