•Security:is with all microwave and other radio systems, satellite transmission is inherently not secure. Satellite transmission is especially vulnerable to interception, as the signal is broadcast over the entire area of the footprint. Therefore, the unauthorized user must know only the satellite ...
From what we have known so far, building a good satellite system costs a lot. Besides, the other systems have been set up. Why does China have a new one if there is nothing special? The other three systems have 24 satellites in MEO(中轨道). In addition to the 24 satellites, Chi...
Any object, artificial or man-made, that orbits the earth is called a satellite and there are two general cases for this: the satellite can either sync with the earth's rotation e.g. most internet satellites or it can have its own period around the earth e.g. the moon....

GPS is so widespread nowadays it is difficult to remember, or imagine, a time in which a GPS receiver was a rare instrument. The early Cold War era and the launch of Sputnik by the Soviet Union in 1957 was the beginning of satellite navigation. Two physicists from John Hopkins’ Applied...
Before going into the details of how DGPS works, it’s important to understand how GPS works. GPS is a satellite-based navigation system that has been around since the 1980s. In North America, theUS government owns and operates the GPS network, which provides free, accurate data to anyone...
How is low-Earth orbit satellite internet different from regular satellite internet? We'll explain what you need to know about the newest internet connection.
The development of the Chinese Satellite Navigation System COMPASS is scheduled into three phases: experimental system, regional system and global system. The regional system will be completed around...
China’s satellite navigation system Compass, also known as BeiDou, has been in deveopment for more than a decade. According to the China National Space Administration, the development is scheduled in three steps: experimental system, regional system, and global system. ...
Most PNT resources are delivered through a primary domain of government-owned and operated GNSS satellite constellations which are generally in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), such as GPS (United States), Galileo (European Union), GLONASS (Russia), and BeiDou (China). ...
