Navigation satellites

Navigation satellites are satellites that provide essential positioning information to users on Earth. They are part of systems like GPS (Global Positioning System) that allow devices, such as smartphones and cars, to determine their exact location. These satellites orbit the Earth and continuously transmit signals. By receiving signals from multiple satellites, a device can calculate its position through a process called triangulation. This technology is vital for navigation in various applications, including travel, mapping, and even military operations, enabling precise location tracking and navigation assistance worldwide.
