Satellite Constellations
Your Global Positioning System receiver (GPSr) must
utilize information transmitted from one or more satellite constellations to accurately and precisely calculate your current position. Which systems are used and the number of satellite signals available will impact
device performance and accuracy.
GPS
The Global Positioning System is a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather conditions, anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. The original concept for a Defense Navigation Satellite System (DNSS) in September 1973 was later named Navstar (NAVigation System using Timing And Ranging), then Navstar-GPS to identify the constellation of Navstar satellites, and eventually shortened simply to GPS. Achieving initial operational capability (IOC) in December 1993, Full Operational Capability (FOC) was declared by Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) in April 1995. The highest quality signals were reserved for military use, and the signal available for civilian use was intentionally degraded. Selective Availability was discontinued on May 2, 2000, allowing users to receive a non-degraded signal globally. GPS is maintained by the United States government and is freely accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver.GLONASS
The GLObal NAvigation Satellite System is a space-based satellite navigation system operated by the Russian Aerospace Defence Forces. It both complements and provides an alternative to the United States' Global Positioning System (GPS) and is the only alternative navigational system in operation with global coverage and comparable precision. GLONASS initially achieved Full Operational Capability (FOC) in December, 1995. Financial difficulties crippled the Russian space program, leaving them with only 6 operational satellites by 2001. In 2010, GLONASS had achieved 100% coverage of Russia's territory, and by October 2011, the full orbital constellation of 24 satellites was restored, enabling full global coverage.GALILEO
Galileo is the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that is being created by the European Union (EU) through the European GNSS Agency (GSA), headquartered in Prague in the Czech Republic, with two ground operations centres, Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich in Germany and Fucino in Italy. The project is named after the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei. Galileo is intended to provide an independent high-precision positioning system so European nations do not have to rely on the Russian GLONASS, Chinese BeiDou or US GPS systems. The first Galileo test satellite, the GIOVE-A, was launched 28 December 2005, while the first satellite to be part of the operational system was launched on 21 October 2011. As of July 2018, 26 of the planned 30 active satellites were in orbit. Galileo started offering Early Operational Capability (EOC) on 15 December 2016, providing initial services with a weak signal, and is expected to reach Full Operational Capability (FOC) in 2019.BeiDou
The original Chinese BeiDou navigation satellite system (BDS) BeiDou-1 consisted of three satellites and offered limited coverage and services from 2000 through 2012. The second generation BeiDou-2 (COMPASS) system became operational to China in December 2011 with a partial constellation of 10 satellites, and has been providing services to the Asia-Pacific region since December 2012. China's third generation BeiDou-3 system began providing global services on December 27, 2018. The final BDS-3 satellite was launched into orbit on June 23, 2020, completing the newest alternative to GPS, GLONASS and GALILEO.NavIC
NavIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation) is the operational name for the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS), with a space segment consisting of eight satellites. Three satellites are positioned in Geostationary orbit (GEO), while another five satellites operate in an Inclined Geosynchronous orbit (IGSO). Future expansion plans include the development and deployment of five additional satellites in the short term, with long term aspirations of a Global Indian Navigation System (GINS) constellation consisting of 24 satellites.Iridium
Iridium is the only mobile voice and data satellite communications network that spans the entire globe. It is comprised of six polar orbiting planes, each containing 11 crosslinked satellites totaling 66 in the operational constellation, creating a web of coverage around the Earth. Iridium enables connections between people, organizations and assets to and from anywhere, in real time.GBAS
The Ground Based Augmentation System (also referred to as Local Area Augmentation System in U.S.) is intended primarily to support precision aviation approach operations. GBAS information is transmitted using VHF signals most handheld Garmin GPS receivers are not equipped to receive.SBAS
A Satellite Based Augmentation System supports wide-area or regional augmentation through the use of additional satellite-broadcast messages.-
WAAS
- The Wide Area Augmentation System is a satellite based augmentation system (SBAS) jointly developed by the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
- WAAS was commissioned for use on July 10, 2003.
- Visit GPSrChive WAAS discussion forum.
EGNOS
- The European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service is a satellite based augmentation system (SBAS) developed by the European Space Agency, the European Commission, and EUROCONTROL.
- EGNOS satellites transmit differential correction data to improve the accuracy of positions derived from US GPS satellite signals while providing users with GPS signal reliability information.
- EGNOS operations were initiated in July 2005.
- An EGNOS Data Access Service was made available in July 2012.
- Visit GPSrChive EGNOS discussion forum.
MSAS
- The Multi-functional Satellite Augmentation System is a Japanese satellite based augmentation system (SBAS) commissioned on September 27, 2007.
- MSAS uses two Multi-functional Transport Satellites (MTSAT) and a network of ground stations to augment GPS signals over Japan.
- Visit GPSrChive MSAS discussion forum.
GAGAN
- The GPS Aided Geo Augmented Navigation is a regional satellite based augmentation system (SBAS) implemented by the government of India.
- GAGAN consists of 3 geostationary satellites, 15 reference stations, 3 uplink stations and 2 control centers.
- GAGAN is compatible with other SBAS systems (WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS).
- The final satellite in the constellation was launched November 10, 2015.
- Visit GPSrChive GAGAN discussion forum.
SDCM
- The Russian System for Differential Corrections and Monitoring is an integral component of GLONASS.
- SDCM differentiates itself from other SBAS systems by performing integrity monitoring of both GPS and GLONASS satellites.
- Visit GPSrChive SDCM discussion forum.
SNAS
- China is currently in the process of developing their Satellite Navigation Augmentation System under the BeiDou program.
- Visit GPSrChive SNAS discussion forum.
QZSS
- The Quasi-Zenith Satellite System ("Michibiki") is a satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) developed by the Japanese government.
- QZSS primary focus is to enhance the United States operated Global Positioning System (GPS) in the Asia-Oceania regions.
- A four satellite QZSS service officially started on November 1, 2018.
- A seven satellite QZSS service independent of the United States GPS is planned for 2023.

Satellite Identification
Have you ever considered what the numbers assigned to each GPS satellite on your Garmin GPSr represent, or how they are determined?PRN
- Most global positioning systems use a form of spread-spectrum or code-division multiple access (CDMA) communications where each signal source is modulated by a pseudo-random noise (PRN) code.
- The PRN code (along with other encoded sub codes) dithers the L1 carrier (or the coarse-acquisition carrier) of the signal.
- All receivers listen on the same L1 frequency, but they sort out the satellite signals by demodulating them according to their PRN encoding.
NMEA
- Garmin GPS receivers employing the NMEA 0183 specification assign each GPS satellite signal a unique NMEA identification number based on the satellite PRN number (GPS, GALILEO, SBAS) or slot number (GLONASS):
