GPS

Global Positioning System

Sistema de posicionamento global

The global positioning system is a satellite navigation system that provides a mobile receiving device with its position, as well as hourly information on all weather conditions, anytime, anywhere on Earth, provided the receiver is in the field of view of four GPS satellites. Two satellite navigation systems are in operation: the American GPS and the Russian GLONASS. There are also two other systems in place: the European Union Galileo and the Chinese Compass. The American system is owned by the United States Government and operated through the United States Department of Defense. Initially its use was exclusively military, and is currently available for free civilian use. However, there are few guarantees that wartime civilian use will be maintained, which would result in a serious risk to navigation. GPS was created in 1963 to overcome the limitations of previously outdated navigation systems. O sistema de posicionamento global é um sistema de navegação por satélite que fornece a um aparelho receptor móvel a sua posição, assim como informação horária, sobre todas condições atmosféricas, a qualquer momento e em qualquer lugar na Terra, desde que o receptor se encontre no campo de visão de quatro satélites GPS. Encontram-se em funcionamento dois sistemas de navegação por satélite: o GPS americano e o GLONASS russo. Existem também dois outros sistemas em implementação: o Galileo da União Europeia e o Compass chinês. O sistema americano é detido pelo Governo dos Estados Unidos e operado através do Departamento de Defesa dos Estados Unidos. Inicialmente o seu uso era exclusivamente militar, estando actualmente disponível para uso civil gratuito. No entanto, poucas garantias apontam para que em tempo de guerra o uso civil seja mantido, o que resultaria num sério risco para a navegação. O GPS foi criado em 1963 para superar as limitações dos anteriores sistemas de navegação já ultrapassados.
