Each time it is switched on, the Radio Naviga-

tion System attempts to receive the signals sent

by the satellites.

Reception from at least three satellites is neces-

sary for an accurate position fixing.

Only then can the position of the receiver be

calculated at any point on the earth's surface.

Global Positioning System (GPS)

The Global Positioning System (GPS) currently comprises

a total of 24 satellites which are evenly distributed over

six orbits at an altitude of approximately 20,000 kilo-

metres. They each circle the earth once every 12 hours.

With this arrangement, every point on the earth theore-

tically has radio contact to at least four satellites.

The satellites radio an ID code, their position

and a high-precision timing signal

earthwards at intervals of one millisecond.

The GPS receiver in the Radio Navigation

System receives the satellite data and calcu-

lates how long the data transmission took by

comparing the timing signal with its internal

high-precision clock.

If the navigation computer receives data

from at least three satellites, it is able to cal-

culate the vehicle's position.
