GPS- GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM

Where we are????

What is GPS?

·         GPS is satellite based navigation system made up of a network of 24-satellites placed into orbit by U.S.  Department Of Defense.

·         Main Task: - Navigation.

·         Position: - Network of 24-satellites.

HISTORY

·         First GPS satellite was called GPS block-I launched in 1978.

·         Basic purpose was for defense.

·         System of 24-satellites was achieved in 1994.

GPS SEGMENTS

WORKING OF GPS

GPS RECEIVER

ACCURACY

• The GPS receivers are extremely accurate due to its multi-channel design.

•  Its time signals are too much accurate.

•  There is a difference of around 15 meters from the object.

ADVANTAGES

·         GIS conversion is simple.

·         Data collection costs are lower.

·         Feature visual inspection is possible while gathering data.

·         Data gathering is possible 24-hours any time and anywhere.  

·         Unaffected by weather.

DISADVANTAGES

• Requires training and retraining as technology changes.
• Buildings can block satellite signals.
• Heavy foliage and thick branched trees can attenuate and/or block satellite signals
• Requires careful attention to system.

APPLICATIONS OF GPS

• DEFERENCE

• GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

•  AUTOMOBILES

CURRENT RESEARCH & FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

• Earthquake monitoring
• GPS management & technological innovations will make GPS surveying easier & accurate
• GPS is poised to become most revolutionary positioning technique of new century
• Soon use it like cell-phone.
