2. GPS project was developed in 1973 for
American army. GPS was created and
realized by department of defence.
GPS is a space based navigation system
that provides location and time
information in all weather anywhere on
the earth.
It was originally run with 24 satellite. The
first satellite launch in 1989 and last in
1994.
3. There are three segments of gps
Space segment
Control segment
User segment
4.
5. The satellite constellation consist of 24
satellite constellation.
These satellites are positioned in six
earth centered orbits with four satellites
in each plane.
The orbital period of a gps is 11 hour and
58 min. They orbit at height of 20,180 km
above earths surface.
6. The CS consists of 3 entities:
Master Control System
Monitor Stations
Ground Antennas
7. A master control station
tracks all satellite and
ensure they are operating
properly and compute
their position in space.
Master control station is
situated at Falcon air
force base Colorado ,
USA
8. There are six monitor stations
Each of the monitor stations checks the exact
altitude, position, speed, and overall health
of the orbiting satellites.
9. It includes millions of
civil, commercial
, scientific users.
It includes american
defence forces as well as
other forces.
10. For determining the position of a object ,
GPS uses the Trilateration method.
Trilateration is the process of
determining locations of points by
measurement of distance using circles
and spheres.
Trilateration have practical applications
in surveying and navigation.
16. Gps aircraft tracking
Vehicle,person,pet tracking system
Map making
Disaster relief/emergency services
Military purpose
Sag measurement in overhead line
17. A gps device is placed at the midpoint of
the conductor
Due to the effect of ice and wind,
clearance from the ground is reduced
This reduction can be calculated with the
help of gps
