Global Positioning System (GPS) Satellite Location 20 Satellites in system Each carries very accurate clock Sends a coded signal every millisecond Ground Stations Track satellite locations Send signals to satellites to correct errors Local Receivers Generate same signals as satellite Compare differences to determine distance to satellite Clocks not nearly as accurate Some errors occur GPS Location Location found by comparing signals Time Difference x Light Speed = Distance Clocks accurate to nanosecond (1 x 10-9 s) Accuracy = (186,282 mi/s)(5280 ft/mi)(1 x 10-9 s)= 0.984 ft How do we locate
