Global Positioning System

Satellite Vehicle Captured from the Telson Communications, Inc. web site ( Satellite Launch Orbit Diagram GPS - How it works z"Global Positioning System” is a network of 24 satellites which orbit the earth, lauched by NASA, and maintained by the U.S. Air Force. Originally designed for military use, the GPS system is now used for civilian navigation through the use of inexpensive, hand-held portable GPS receivers.
