The most intense space weather event of the past two decades hit GPS satellites' orbit just after a solar minimum. Mild solar storms can cause more serious problems to GPS satellites than once-in ...

SpaceX launched a new GPS satellite to orbit for the US military, continuing an effort to bolster a constellation of global positioning and navigation satellites that underpin smartphone apps ...

In a nutshell: Today's typical navigation-grade motion sensors are about the size of a grapefruit, helping steer ships, planes, and vehicles in conjunction with GPS signals. This means they always ...

Here, UNSW academics Professor Andrew Dempster and Dr. Craig Roberts give a sneak peek what people can expect from GPS over the next 50 years.

In a significant advancement for autonomous spacecraft operations, AVS US, in collaboration with Cornell University and the ...

Tuning into a GPS satellite is nothing new. Your phone and your car probably do that multiple times a day. But [dereksgc] has been listening to GPS voice traffic. The traffic originates from COSPAS… ...

The satellite will further experiment with on-orbit re-programable capability, essentially allowing NTS-3 to broadcast GPS signals in different, frequently changing waveform guises like a software ...

GPS stands for Global Positioning System. We use this technology every day but how does it work and why was it invented? Here we explore this vital technology.

The Space Force plans to launch the next GPS III satellite in late May as part of a rapid launch mission to demonstrate the ability to prepare and launch a satellite on truncated timelines.

The mission carried the sixth spacecraft in a new generation of GPS satellites, called GPS III, to an orbit about 12,550 miles (20,200 km) above the Earth’s surface, where more than 30 GPS ...
