- 2. The Magic ofNavigation: Using Satellites to Find Your Way In this presentation we will talk about the fascinating world of satellite navigation, specifically focusing on the Global Positioning System (GPS). We will look on how GPS works, its components, and its different applications in our daily lives
- 3. What is GPS? The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space based radio navigation system. It provides location and time information anywhere on Earth, weather permitting. GPS is free to use for anyone with a compatible receiver.
- 4. How Does GPSWork? 1 •GPS works by receiving signals from multiple satellites •Each satellite transmits an accurate time signal 2 •The receiver calculates its distance to each satellite based on the signal travel time •By knowing the distance to at least four satellites, the receiver can determine its location (latitude, longitude, and altitude). 3 •Using trilateration, the receiver determines your latitude, longitude, and altitude
- 5. The Segments ofGPS User Segment • GPS receivers used by individuals to access GPS data. Control Segment • Ground stations that monitor and maintain the satellites. Space Segment • The network of GPS satellites orbiting Earth.
- 6. The Future ofGPS Advancements in GPS technology are ongoing. More accurate positioning with additional satellite constellations Integration with other technologies like self-driving cars and augmented reality.
- 7. Limitations of GPS . GPSsignals can be obstructed by buildings, tunnels, and dense foliage. . Limited functionality indoors or underground. . Reliant on a functioning satellite network and user receiver.
- 8. Accuracy of GPS GPSaccuracy can vary depending on several factors Number of satellites in view Atmospheric conditions Receiver quality
- 9. Applications of GPSin Everyday Life • GPS is ubiquitous in navigation applications on smartphones and car dashboards, providing directions and real time traffic updates Navigation • Emergency responders rely on GPS to locate individuals in distress, expediting response times and saving lives. Emergency Services •Fitness trackers and smartwatches leverage GPS to track workout routes, distance, and pace, motivating users and providing valuable exercise data Fitness Tracking
- 10. The Impact ofGPS on Society GPS has a profound impact on society beyond navigation: Enables search and rescue teams to locate missing persons more effectively Enhances outdoor recreation and exploration activities Supports disaster relief efforts by providing real time situational awareness Empowers citizen science initiatives through location-based data collection
- 11. GPS in PrecisionAgriculture Provides farmers with detailed field data for optimized crop management. Assists in creating yield maps to identify areas requiring more or less resources Supports the use of drones for crop monitoring and spraying Enables precision agriculture practices like autosteering tractors for planting
- 12. GPS in Transportation Improvesefficiency in logistics and fleet management Enables real-time tracking of vehicles and cargo Enhances maritime navigation for safer and more efficient shipping
- 13. Global Positioning SystemHistory The first satellite navigation system was Transit, a system deployed by the US military in the 1960s. Transit's operation was based on the Doppler effect: the satellites travelled on well-known paths and broadcast their signals on a well-known radio frequency. The received frequency will differ slightly from the broadcast frequency because of the movement of the satellite with respect to the recei
- 14. Conclusion GPS is arevolutionary technology that has transformed our world It provides accurate and reliable navigation, enabling a wide range of applications As GPS technology continues to evolve, we can expect even greater benefits in the future
