Navigation satellite system

A navigation satellite system, like GPS, consists of a network of satellites orbiting Earth that send radio signals to receivers on the ground. These signals contain timing and location information. The receiver calculates its position by measuring the time it takes for signals from multiple satellites to arrive. This allows the system to determine your precise location, altitude, and speed. Such systems are used in everyday activities like driving, navigation apps, mapping, and even in emergency services, providing accurate and reliable positioning data worldwide.
