earth at nearly 11,000 miles. These satellites are traveling at a speed that allows
them to circle the earth twice each day while emitting a very low power signal. The
signals are timed by clocks that are highly accurate and are received by one of 5
ground stations. These ground stations use the precisely timed signal to determine
each satellite’s exact position in orbit. Your GPS receiver can “hear” the signal sent
