3 1700s to 1900s-Sailors and travelers use compass’ and sextant’s to determine location 1938-Rabi develops the Atomic Clock 1964-First Transit satellite was launched 1964-Polaris submersible uses Transit to determine location 1967-First Transit unit produced for the public 1989-Government launches first of 24 satellites for military purposes June 26, 1993-Government releases GPS information and commercial production began

4 Prs + T + Es =  (x-x s ) 2 + (y-y s ) 2 + (z-z s ) 2 x, y, z are the positions we are trying to locate T = the time error at the receiver x s, y s, z s are the satellite positions (calculated Es = a sum of all the modeling errors considered by the GPS Prs is the approximate (pseudo-range) distance from the satellite to the ground (include tropospheric and ionospheric errors, clock errors from the satellite and any other error the GPS receivers thinks is significant enough to model)

5 We begin by measuring the distance to one satellite: We measure the distance from the 2 nd satellite to be 12,000 miles: We begin by measuring the distance to the third satellite to be 13,000:
