The Global Positioning System (GPS)

Hello guys .... how is it going ? this week we are going to discuss about our Midterm test, The Global Positioning System (GPS) exactly .... 


Part A .
1.The Global Positioning System, or GPS, can show you your exact position on Earth any time, anywhere, in any weather. The system consists of a constellation of 24 satellites (with about 6 "spares") that orbit 11,000 nautical miles above Earth’s surface and continuously send signals to ground stations that monitor and control GPS operations.
2. It is maintained by the United States government and is freely accessible by anyone with a GPS receiver.

3 . - Space segment

     - Control segment

     - User segment

4.GPS satellites broadcast signals from space, which each GPS receiver use to calculate it's three-dimensional location (latitude, longitude, and altitute) plus the current time. 

5.The space segment consists of a constellation of 24 satellites (and about six "spares"), each in its own orbit 11,000 nautical miles above Earth.
The user segment consists of receivers, which you can hold in your hand or mount in a vehicle, like your car. The control segment consists of ground stations (six of them, located around the world) that make sure the satellites are working properly.

6.Meaning it has significant military and civilian applications .
7.Commerce: GPS's accurate time facilitates everyday activities such as banking, mobile phone operations, and even the control of power grids by allowing well synchronized hand-off switching.
Science :  farmers, surveyors, and geologists.  

8. we had to know about what GPS use for and what we need about it and then use it just for kindness.
