Global Positioning System, better known as GPS, has revolutionized our lives in so many ways. We are able to determine our location at any time without any external reference. There are so many other advantages of this technology that it is only appropriate to list them all here. The Global Positioning System is operated by the United States National Oceanic and atmospheric Administration’s National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service. It is primarily a Global Positioning System (GPS) system, which provides accurate global navigation and weather forecasts.

It is estimated that about 85% of ships traveling along oceans and waterways today rely on GPS to determine their location. This technology makes shipping much safer as it helps to avoid accidents at sea. Geostationary operational weather satellites go a long way in ensuring that ships are well-protected from adverse weather conditions. They can also be used for military purposes and underwater hunting for animals like sharks.

Another major advantage of using GPS technology is the ability to track lightning. Lightning storms can hit anywhere on Earth and the only way to determine the exact location of the storm is to track it through GPS. By monitoring the location and speed of lightning through the use of geostationary satellites, scientists have been able to make some breakthroughs in the field of lightning research. For instance, it was found that the location of lightning is largely dependent on latitude and speed of light.

By using an Earth observation satellite, scientists have been able to map rainfall and ice melt, track changes in cloudiness and surface temperature, detect changes in the earth’s gravitational field, detect wobble in the rotation of the earth, detect changes in solar radiation, and monitor precipitation amounts. By using an advanced baseline imager, weather researchers will also be able to measure any atmospheric phenomena such as barometric pressure, cloud amount, and barometric vaporization. By combining these measurements with data provided by a radio satellite or an infrared satellite, they can get a much more detailed image of the upper atmosphere. The combination of the two measurements gives scientists the ability to better understand how weather patterns work and predict future climate conditions.

During the last few years there have been quite a few successful test launches of geostationary satellites. Some of the failures were caused by a glitch in the navigation software used to guide the launches. Other failures were caused by failures in the processing of telemetry signals or by delays in switching to a different system. While most of these failures could have easily been prevented if the proper guidelines had been followed, it may still come as a big surprise to many people that an apogee or another launch failure has happened during an active geostationary mission.

Many other space exploration missions will also use GPS technology as they launch into orbit. There are currently seven geostationary satellites that have been launched so far, including the first two goes-8s which will go up in October 2021 and goes-11 which will be launched in November 2021. These two geostationaries will be used to monitor the Earth for weather observations and tracking weather patterns.
