GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM
Global Positioning System (
GPS)
is a satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in
all weather conditions of the place that you want to reach for a particular
purpose at any place of the world.
GPS system provide sight to four or more satellites and critical
capabilities to military, civil, and commercial users around the world.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system
made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit
made up of space segment are orbiting the
earth about 12,000 miles above us and are traveling at speeds of roughly 7,000
miles an hour
Global positioning system are wide used in scientific research and
engineering activities also for military
in such it allocate the particular area with latitude
and longitude with the help of satellite you can reach for purpose of doing
that activities you want even the place you wont reach
This technology enable many activities done where by satellites carry very
stable atomic clocks that are synchronized to each other and to ground clocks
and continuously transmit their current time and position.
A GPS receiver monitors multiple satellites and solves equations to
determine the exact position of the receiver and its deviation from true time
THE
STRUCTURE OF GPS
Global positioning system consists of
three major segments which include
·
Space segment (SS)
·
Control segment (CS)
·
User segment (US). GPS
GPS receiver uses these signals to
calculate its three-dimensional location (latitude, longitude, and altitude)
and the current time.
SPACE SEGMENT
Space segment is composed of 24 to 32 satellites in medium Earth orbit and
also includes the payload adapters to the boosters required to launch them into
orbit.
Space segment is necessary to determine the particular space between one
orbit to the other in such its possible for the user to understand where they
are supposed to reach and it modified to six orbital planes with four
satellites each.
Space segment composed of six planes that are approximately 55
0 ties
relative to the earths equator and being separated by 60
0 at right
ascension of the ascending node.
The angular difference between satellites in each orbit is 30,105, 120 and
105 degrees apart that sum to 360 degrees
CONTROL SEGMENT
The control segment is composed of a master control station, an
alternate master control station, and a host of dedicated and shared ground
antennas and monitor stations.
The control station monitored all activities done in this segment and yields
the desirable result with the help of alternate master control station when failure
a host dedicated are required to determine the required position is reached
accordingly the shared ground antennae searching that particular signals to
reach expected area the monitor station display the target area how far can be
reached
USER SEGMENT
User segment is composed of hundreds of thousands of U.S. and allied
military users of the secure GPS Precise Positioning Service, and tens of
millions of civil, commercial, and scientific users of the Standard Positioning
Service display for providing location and speed information to the user
These GPS can determine the area which is not safe and provide an alarm at
the station that can be checked and assure there is no attack will arise and
disturb the peace, also for the civil activities its necessary to use for
social activities to reach area of need solution easily.
The MCS can access U.S. Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN) ground
antennas for additional command and control capability and NGA (National
Geospatial-Intelligence Agency monitor stations
