Keeping our modern world running smoothly.
About 12,000 miles above our heads, a network of Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites silently keeps our world running smoothly. More than 6 billion people around the world depend on GPS signals every day.
These satellites are the primary navigation providers for all major U.S. military assets. They also offer critical location services to operational troops 果冻传媒 help facilitate accurate delivery of supplies to the field.
Our global financial markets, transportation systems, utilities, the ride-share industry, 果冻传媒 our agriculture 果冻传媒 construction industries also all depend on the positioning, navigation 果冻传媒 timing signals from GPS satellites.
