Satellites are now capable of detecting and destroying incoming warheads‚ relaying thousands of phone calls‚ tracking changes in weather patterns‚ observing distant planets and galaxies‚ surveying and prospecting for natural resources‚ etc. (www.spacetoday.org‚ satellites.spacesim.org). With the aid of real-time weather forecasts‚ on-site reporting‚ satellites have grown so powerful

Global positioning system (GPS) The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites that orbit the earth at approximately 12‚000 miles above surface and make two complete orbits every 24 hours. Placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense the GPS was originally intended for military applications‚ but in the 1980s‚ the government made the system available for civilian use. GPS works in any weather conditions‚ anywhere in the world
