the one that receives radio signals from the satellites of the positioning system to track where we are. In fact‚ with just three seconds typing “GPS” and hitting “search” on Google‚ we can get the correct definition of GPS which is “a spacebased satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather conditions‚ anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.” This system has a total of 27 to 32 Earthorbiting satellites .

I. Introduction Global Positioning System or GPS is a navigation system that used satellites to navigate. GPS are used at most of the places such as‚ cars‚ aircrafts‚ ships‚ and mobile phone. Currently there are 31 GPS satellites orbiting Earth in 12 hours each. GPS help human activities in this world through navigating to safe more time‚ safeties in flight‚ to locate their locations for purposes like in military‚ etc. GPS plays important role in current human activities. II. History At the

anxious at the thought of the Soviet satellite orbiting the planet. What Americans wanted most of all was for the U.S. to catch up to the Soviets as quickly as possible. They wanted reassurance and a definite closure of the perceived missile gap. Prior to the establishment of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1958‚ America’s space efforts were divided among the armed services with the Army‚ Navy and Air Force all running missile and satellite development projects.

Hypertrophy Our skeletal muscles make up 40-50% of our total mass and are essential for all humans to move‚ breath‚ and stand up straight. For the first 20 years of our lives and for those physically active after our muscles are continually growing. Satellite cells are responsible for this growth in our skeletal muscle and are referred to as muscle stem cells. When skeletal muscle cells are traumatized due to physical trauma or disease the regeneration process includes three general processes‚ destruction
