GPS3. The next major development for the satellite navigation system is about to be launched into Earth orbit to improve the localization we do for guided navigation systems. GPS 3 is a project that includes the launch of no less than 10 satellites produced by Lockheed Martin, with a total value of 5.5 billion dollars, but their launch into orbit will greatly help to improve localization.
GPS3. The first satellite from this project will be launched into orbit in 2023, and will join the existing satellites, which currently help in the exact location of people using various navigation systems. The new GPS 3 satellites will have a lifetime of at least 15 years, 2 times longer than the satellites now in orbit, but they are designed to be adapted to the new technologies that will appear over time, so that they will not require complete replacement when new technologies appear on the market.
GPS 3. This is WHEN the Satellites of the New Navigation System are launched
GPS3. The big change that this new navigation system brings is for accuracy, it will be up to 3 times better, so we will no longer be wrongly located by navigation applications. More precisely, the accuracy of navigation systems will increase from 5-10 meters to 1-3 meters after the launch of the GPS 3 system, the signal will also increase substantially, so there should no longer be areas without good localization.
“The existing GPS II system is accurate, but GPS III will take things to a whole new level. The next generation of GPS is 3 times more accurate than existing GPS technology. This means that the 5 to 10 meters accuracy you see now with existing GPS technology will be reduced to 1 to 3 meters. Key to this expansion is the new civil L1C signal, which is interoperable with other international navigation satellite systems (GNSS).”
GPS3. Along with the localization will come the expansion towards the new L1C civil signal, which is interoperable with other satellite localization systems, currently known as GNASS. L1C is the signal used by the European Galileo network, the Japanese QZSS, or the Chinese Beidou network, so GPS 3 will help dramatically improve location for everyone, from the entire planet, from 2023.
GPS3. Of course, location devices will also evolve and will be able to receive signals from multiple geolocation systems, some phones and navigation systems already have this, others will offer the function in the future.
