GPS GPS User Segment. This page was last modified on 18 May , at NAVSTAR - United State's system, and GLONASS - the Russian version.
As of October 17, , there were a total of 31 operational satellites in the GPS constellation, not including the decommissioned, on-orbit spares. In
addition to position and velocity, GPS receivers also provide time. This page includes several figures to help describe the system. The design of
GPS satellites has evolved with time. Learn more and track congressional response Dec A GPS Receiver is a device capable of determining the
user position, velocity and precise time PVT by processing the signal broadcasted by satellites. Work in progress Draft articles Request an article

Lockheed Martin to produce the seventh and eighth GPS III satellites. The GPS Space Segment is formed by a satellite constellation with enough
satellites to ensure that the users will have, at least, 4 simultaneous satellites in view from any point at the Earth surface at any time. The following

receivers can use data from both NAVSTAR and GLONASS; this report focuses on the NAVSTAR system. Additionally, when MCEU
becomes operational, it can support the operational testing of Military GPS User Equipment. Privacy policy About Navipedia Terms and

Control Segment
This is an amazing capability! This page was last modified on June 6, According to the United States Naval Observatory , there are currently 27
operational GPS satellites about 11, miles up in space. GPS is operated and maintained by the U. Return to top of page. The extra satellites may
increase GPS performance but are not considered part of the core constellation. GPS is a satellite-based navigation system originally developed
for military purposes and is maintained and controlled by the United States Department of Defense. OCX GPS III Contingency Ops M-Code
Early Use Past Upgrades. The GNSS Market Report, Issue 3 , provided by European GNSS Agency, has estimated that the number of GPS
enabled devices in were about two billion units. These transmissions are controlled by highly stable atomic clocks on board the satellites. The Air
Force announced it had exercised a contract option for Lockheed Martin to produce the seventh and eighth GPS III satellites. It became available
to users on March 9. For the desktop version of this page, rotate your device to landscape. This page was last modified on 18 September , at
View AF news release Jun Information About navipedia Who is who Contact us Help How to register. The user requires a GPS receiver in order
to receive the transmissions from the satellites. Without M-Code, military GPS users will continue to be threatened by GPS jamming and spoofing.
The GPS control segment consists of a global network of ground facilities that track the GPS satellites, monitor their transmissions, perform
analyses, and send commands and data to the constellation. GPS is operated and maintained by the U. The users consist of both the military and
civilians. View contract info at defense. MCEU is necessary to provide core capabilities of the modernized military GPS signal, known as M-
Code, to the military GPS user community. There are two GPS systems: Navigation Main page Starters Guides Bookshelf Acronyms Recent

are six orbital planes with at least four satellites in each plane. This constellation see Figure 2 below provides between five and eight GPS satellites
visible from any point on the earth. Finally, the following table gathers the main characteristics of a GPS Satellite: The GPS receiver calculates the
location based on signals from the satellites. Figure 3 - The Control Segment. As of October 17, , there were a total of 31 operational satellites in
the GPS constellation, not including the decommissioned, on-orbit spares. The ephemeris and clocks parameters are usually updated every two
hours, while the almanac is updated at least every six days. GPS Title GPS Space Segment Edited by GMV Level Basic Year of Publication The
main functions of the Space Segment are to transmit radio-navigation signals, and to store and retransmit the navigation message sent by the
Control Segment. The GPS Space Segment is formed by a satellite constellation with enough satellites to ensure that the users will have, at least, 4
simultaneous satellites in view from any point at the Earth surface at any time. The Next Generation Operational Control System OCX is the future
version of the GPS control segment. GPS Satellite Constellation The nominal GPS satellite constellation consists of 24 space vehicles SVs
distributed in six orbital planes with an inclination of 55 degrees in relation to the equator. As a result, GPS now effectively operates as a slot
constellation with improved coverage in most parts of the world. Orbits are nearly circular, with eccentricity less than 0. Three of the 24 slots were
expanded, and six satellites were repositioned, so that three of the extra satellites became part of the constellation baseline. It can be used by
anyone with a receiver anywhere on the planet, at any time of day or night, in any type of weather. This page has been accessed 58, times.
