How does Global Positioning System work?

By Archana
The U.S. military developed and implemented GPS satellite network as a military radio-navigation system to figure out the exact position on the earth. It’s made up of three parts: satellites, ground stations, and receivers. GPS is  a constellation of 27 Earth-orbiting satellites (24 in operation and three extras in case one fails). Each satellite is built to last about 10 years. Each one transmits information about its position and the current time at regular intervals.These satellites make two complete rotations around the globe everyday such that at any point of time atleast four satellites are visible to the receiver. The basis of GPS is "trilateration".Trilateration is a method of determining the relative positions of objects using the geometry of triangles.In order to make this simple calculation, the GPS receiver has to know the location of at least three satellites and the distance between our receiver and each of those satellites. The signals, moving at the speed...
