is rapidly becoming the most common
system used for navigation and positioning all over the world.
Not only for maritime use, but also for land-based applications and
aviation.
The satellite-based system has been developed and is operated by the
US Department of Defence in order to provide an accurate and reliable
service, which include a 24-hour global coverage.
The GPS system consists of approx. 24 satellites which orbit around
the Earth at an altitude of approx. 20,200 km.
The satellites transmit perfectly syncronized data. However, depend-
ing on the position, the signals will reach the receiver at a slightly dif-
ferent time. By adding the measured time difference to the known
position of the satellites it is possible to calculate the ship’s position to
within a few meters.
