The Global Positioning System (GPS) has become a common feature of most cars for sale or rent. E 'to obtain a simple and useful, where you can go fast and efficient. But you know that 60 years on this GPS technology is more?
The technology used to develop the GPS or Loran that emerged in 1940 with based radio-navigation systems such as the Long Range Navigation. The United States has officially begun research ontechnology that could lead to the development of GPS in 1957 with the launch of Soviet satellite Sputnik was in need of a mass panic in the United States of America to do with Communist Russia in the LED "Space Race".
A team of scientists led by Dr. Richard B. Kershner, the first Space Department Head at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory led the work started on what would be the first satellite navigation system that has made the transit of satellite navigation. ThisSystem was officially launched in 1964 to be operational. It 'was in the Navy until 1996, when it was reported with a success rate of 99.86 percent. Today Kersh Award annually to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to areas where the technology of navigation.
In 1970, work began on a formal system GPS. It took more than 20 years for them fully operational. The system has been established with the introduction of a series of satellites, the firstthat block I, launched in 1978.
The way to develop GPS has not been without setbacks and tragedies. In 1983 the Soviets shot down a Korean passenger plane in the airspace by a Soviet interceptor has led to protests around the world. This has led to U.S. President Ronald Reagan once said that GPS was developed, it would be for all citizens of the United States when completed.
The GPS system is fully operational in 1995. It 'been continuouslyupdated since then started using the new satellite to the older models that are no longer functional to replace. The oldest continuously operating GPS satellites in 1991, initially introduced in
GPS technology is now mobile phones are almost everywhere, especially in the cell. According to The New York Times, during the week of Thanksgiving, there were 2007 recorded an annual turnover of more than 100 million U.S. dollars for GPS devices, of 237 percent over the previous year. This is partly due to the fact that The development of GPS technology has made it more affordable and accessible to most people. GPS unit boasted more revenue growth than any other electronic device. It is now available as a standard component of many cars, and as an add-on for existing vehicles.
GPS has a long and rich history. It serves as proof of what you get when a target was set, and be a witness to the power of technology. With the developments even further into the future> GPS is like having more effective and accessible over time. As rich as its past is, GPS is likely to continue to have a long and fruitful.
