Navigation Satellites

Navigational satellites were one of the early applications of artificial earth satellites. Very early in the space age, researchers realized that satellites could be put on orbits to permit ships, aircraft, or other vehicles to exactly determine their locations. Global positioning systems (GPS) make of navigation satellites. The GPS constellation system was first established by the US military to support of their forces. But it is now in widespread in public and commercial applications.

The navigation equipment generally consists of a sensitive radio receiver, an accurate frequency reference, and an accurate clock. The idea of using satellites for navigation began with the launch of Sputnik 1 on October 4, 1957. Satellite navigation systems allow small electronic devices to determine their location.
