Will an increase in GPS tech mean more satellites?
04 May 2010
Question
Will the increase in GPS technology mean more satellites in the sky in the coming few years or the existing setup enough?
Answer
More people using GPS won't require more satellites, just like more radio listeners doesn't mean you need more radio transmitters, or more bums on seats in an auditorium doesn't mean you need more members in an orchestra. However, there will soon be more positioning systems, when the Galileo constellation launches. Galileo is an EU/ESA project to enhance and back up GPS.
