History:

y Originally established by the U.S. Department ofDefense ,the first GPS satellite was launched in 1978.

Block II were launched.

y The launch of the 24th satellite in 1994 completed

the system.

How GPS System Worksy The satellites in orbit provide the ranging signals and

data messages to the user equipment.

y The operational control segment (OCS) maintains thesatellites & tracks in space. The OCS monitors satellitehealth and signal integrity and maintains the orbitalconfiguration of the satellites. Furthermore, the OCSupdates the satellite clock corrections as well asnumerous other parameters essential to determining user

position, velocity, and time (PVT).y Lastly, the user receiver equipment performs the

navigation, timing or other related functions (e.g.surveying).
