Samples of three GPS satellites' orbits over a five-year period (2013 to 2018) USA-242 · USA-239 · USA-151 · Earth As of 22 January 2025, 83 Global Positioning System navigation satellites have been built: 31 are launched and operational, 3 are in reserve or testing, 43 are retired, 2 were lost during launch, and 1 prototype was never launched. 3 Block III satellites have completed ...
To determine the current Gregorian date, a GPS receiver must be provided with the approximate date (to within 3,584 days) to correctly translate the GPS date signal. To address this concern in the future the modernized GPS civil navigation (CNAV) message will use a 13-bit field that only repeats every 8,192 weeks (157 years), thus lasting until ...
The current status of the L2C signal as of July 3, 2023 [21] is: Pre-operational signal with message set "healthy" Broadcasting from 25 GPS satellites (as of July 3, 2023) Began launching in 2005 with GPS Block IIR-M; Available on 24 GPS satellites with ground segment control capability by 2023 (as of Jan 2020)
Status: Operational: Coverage: Global: Constellation size; Nominal satellites: 24 MEO, 3 GEO, 3 IGSO (BeiDou-3) [1] Current usable satellites: BD-3: 26 MEO, 4 GEO, 3 IGSO; BD-2: 3 MEO, 4 GEO, 7 IGSO; First launch: 30 October 2000: Last launch: 26 December 2023: Total launches: 62: Orbital characteristics; Regime(s) Geostationary orbit Inclined ...
Model of a Galileo satellite. This is a list of past and present satellites of the Galileo navigation system.The fully operational constellation will nominally consist of 30 satellites in Medium Earth Orbit, with 24 active and 6 spares equally divided into 3 orbital planes in a Walker 24/3/1 configuration.
From 11 July till 18 July 2019, the whole constellation experienced an "unexplained" signal outage [76] [77] with all active satellites showing "NOT USABLE" status on the Galileo status page. [78] The cause of the incident was an equipment malfunction in the Galileo ground infrastructure that affected the calculation of time and orbit ...

A Notice Advisory to Navstar Users (NANU) is a message issued jointly by the United States Coast Guard and the GPS Operations Center at Schriever Space Force Base in Colorado. [1] Such notices (NANUs) provide updates on the general health of individual satellites in the GPS constellation. NANUs are typically issued approximately three days ...
