after carefully considering the many
scientific and technical achievements
and spaceflight satellites and sensing
the International Astronautical
Federation gave its 60th anniversary
award to the one space project in
history providing the greatest
measurable benefit to humanity
this technology is available to over 1
billion people in every country every
day
gps
the gps constellation broadcast time
position and
shame 24 hours a day seven days a week
time is essential for commerce atomic
clocks inside GPS satellites forecast
accurate time around the globe
gps time signals traveling at the speed
of light establish accurate time in
position
gps signals deliver availability anytime
anywhere
integrity reliable time and position and
accuracy better than published standards
the breadth of dps applications defies
imagination no longer limited to
ground-based navigational aids aircraft
use gps to fly directly to destinations
reducing miles flown and fuel bird gps
is a crucial component of the enhanced
ground proximity warning system greatly
reducing the number of accidents and
helping to save lives
GPS is today's lighthouse in the sky
sending signals that safely guide ships
and cargo in and out of harbors around
the globe trillions of dollars in
banking and financial transactions use
gps synchronize timestamps accurate to
within nanoseconds gps-guided tractors
reduce unused feel they're in and
precisely distribute water and
fertilizers precision agriculture
dramatically increases crop yield and
supplies more food to people around the
globe helping to relieve world hunger
forecasters use gps to measure clouds
predict rainfall and prepare people for
natural disasters gps helps rescuers
locate victims of floods earthquakes and
other disasters while accelerating
humanitarian relief
smartphones use gps to connect family
and friends in Point 911 distress calls
and watch over children gps powers
navigation systems giving people safely
to destinations around the world and GPS
enables fast response to emergencies on
land and sea saving thousands of lives
every year
today GPS is developing the next
generation of silence to deliver new
signals that strengthen gps availability
integrity accuracy and robustness the
l2c signal will enable dual-frequency to
increase position accuracy and provide
fast initial location l5 the
international safety of life simple for
aviation will enable moving from
landmark and radar-based navigation to
gps-guided approaches and landings the
interoperability signal l1c establishes
a common signal between gps and the
other spacebase positioning navigation
and timing systems for the benefit of
civil users around the world l1c
provides for future compatibility
between gps and the European Galileo
system the Japanese causing the
satellite system and enables future
interoperability with other
international satellite navigation
systems the defense signal code improves
availability security and precision for
enhanced military operations across the
globe
gps Morgan ization delivers more signals
for future applications like smart cars
and intersections to control traffic and
speed reducing accidents improving
travel time and helping to save lives
positive train control to manage rail
and cargo lines reducing collisions and
derailments and potentially saving
millions of dollars of fuel per year and
thousands of new applications like
fisheries management oil exploration
mining mapping boundary dispute
resolution earthquake prediction
glacier monitoring and more with the
support of us taxpayers the u.s. manages
gps as a national asset sharing
information with the world to develop
new receivers and application and
coordinating with the European Union
Russia Japan India China and others on
the interoperability of satellite based
systems with international organizations
for more than 30 years US presidents
have expanded the commitment to gps
today it is law to sustain and operate
gps for peaceful civil commercial and
scientific uses on a continuous
worldwide basis free of direct user fees
to keep gps working everyday the United
States Air Force 2nd Space Operations
watering and United States Coast Guard
gps navigation center provide 24-hour
support the United States has invested
35 billion dollars in gps and continues
to invest moves more every year to
sustain this awesome capability everyday
you use a GPS expand across the globe in
the US alone commercial growth is
estimated to create tens of billions of
dollars in annual benefits and effect up
to 5 million jobs
with the support of the US taxpayer the
United States is committed to sustaining
the global positioning system as the
gold standard to ensure the availability
of accurate time and position
anytime anywhere in the world to benefit
all humanity in the 21st century

the black up now you're gonna do it
getting a TV picture now they'll yes we
are getting a TV picture village
