Slide 2
GPS Navigation System Additional independent study to accompany
senior project to include: In depth explanation of the different
aspects of GPS and how they work Factors that could affect the
usability and accuracy of the GPS system The Global Positioning
System
Slide 3
Space Segment 30 satellites that transmit position and time
Satellites are in non-uniform position and time 6 are visible from
any point on earth Continuously broadcasting messages to GPS
receivers on earth GPS Navigation System Global Positioning System

Slide 4
Control Segment World-wide Maintain satellites proper orbit
Upload navigational data to satellites Monitor health and status of
satellites Adjust Orbit Of Satellites GPS Navigation System GPS
Explained: The Control Segment
Slide 5
User Segment Most receivers can use at least 12 satellites
simultaneously Receives navigation messages from satellites
Calculates the transmission time of navigation messages Receivers
use data to calculate position, time, speed and direction of travel
