The Global Positioning System

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a constellation of satellites that orbit

the earth twice a day, transmitting precise time and positioning information to

anywhere on the globe, 24 hours a day.

The system was designed and deployed by the U.S. Department of Defense to

provide continuous, worldwide positioning and navigation data to U.S. and

allied military forces. GPS broad commercial applications were recognized early

in the system’s development, and the U.S. government decided to allow free

access to GPS signals. Today, GPS is used in a wide variety of commercial and

scientific applications.
