Have you ever been totally lost and wished that you had brought a GPS system with you? It would be even worse if you were stranded by sea! Indeed, the Global Positioning System, an unrivaled U.S. achievement, is a satellite-based technology that transmits microwave signals to users all over the world, allowing them to learn data related to time, date, velocity and location.
The GPS device communicates through a constellation of about 24-32 satellites that are orbiting out there somewhere in medium earth.
