The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system that provides location and time information anywhere on Earth with an unobstructed view of at least four GPS satellites. Maintained by the U.S. government and freely accessible with a GPS receiver, it was developed in 1973 to improve upon previous navigation systems and became fully operational in 1994 with 24 satellites overseeing the system.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based radio navigation system owned by the United States government that provides geolocation and time information to GPS receivers anywhere on Earth. GPS was invented during the Cold War and originally developed for the U.S. Department of Defense using 24 satellites at a cost of $12 billion. The original setup used 18 satellites placed in three orbital planes spaced 120 degrees apart, along with ground stations to receive satellite signals, and was designed for and implemented by the military in the early 1960s.Gps

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense that provides location and time information to GPS receivers. It works through satellites broadcasting signals that receivers use to calculate the user's three-dimensional position, and is intended for both military and civilian use worldwide, 24/7 in any weather.Space Policy - Vis Viva - 10th bi-weekly meeting - August 7, 2013

This presentation was given by Philippe Carous, LLM Air and Space Law, at the 10th bi-weekly meeting of the Society of Space Professionals Vis Viva.
It shall be pointed out that our meetings are about more than just slidesthey are about the interaction of our Fellows. Vis Viva offers a forum for the active discussion of space topics, and so our talks are lively get-together with a permanent conversation of the speaker and the audience. Since just slides cannot get this across, we kindly invite you to join one of our bi-weekly activities.GNSS

The presentation introduces global navigation satellite systems including TRANSIT, the first system developed in the 1960s by the US Navy; GPS, the US system currently in use; GLONASS, the Russian system; and Galileo, the European system under development. It notes that GPS replaced TRANSIT and is the most widely used system today with 24 satellites in orbit, though the US military controls it. Other systems like GLONASS and the upcoming Galileo aim to provide alternatives, with Galileo expected to offer improved coverage at high latitudes.Gps

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system that provides location and time information to receivers anywhere on Earth. It was developed by the U.S. military in the 1970s and became fully operational in 1994. GPS uses a constellation of satellites that continuously transmit their positions and the current time, allowing receivers to determine their location by calculating the time delay of signals from at least four satellites.GIS for Preservation of Outdoor Collections
GIS for Preservation of Outdoor CollectionsAzavea

This document discusses how museums can use geographic information systems (GIS) to manage and preserve outdoor collections without physical walls. It describes how GIS can be used to track the locations of dispersed assets, display them geographically to identify trends, and plan preservation activities more efficiently. The document also presents Muralfarm, a survey tool that maps murals to collect data and engage the public through features like favorites and comments. GIS allows museums to better understand and care for outdoor collections across a city.A Review- Remote Sensing 
A Review- Remote Sensing IJERA Editor

Now-a-days the field of Remote Sensing and GIS has become exciting and glamorous with rapidly expanding opportunities. Many organizations spend large amounts of money on these fields. Here the question arises why these fields are so important in recent years. Two main reasons are there behind this. 1) Now-a-days scientists, researchers, students, and even common people are showing great interest for better understanding of our environment. By environment we mean the geographic space of their study area and the events that take place there. In other words, we have come to realize that geographic space along with the data describing it, is part of our everyday world; almost every decision we take is influenced or dictated by some fact of geography. 2) Advancement in sophisticated space technology (which can provide large volume of spatial data), along with declining costs of computer hardware and software (which can handle these data) has made Remote Sensing and G.I.S. affordable to not only complex environmental / spatial situation but also affordable to an increasingly wider audience.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) began development in 1957 by the U.S. Department of Defense to provide accurate positioning using satellites. It consists of 24 to 31 satellites orbiting the Earth at an altitude of 20,200 km with an inclination angle of 55 degrees. GPS uses these satellites and atomic clocks on board to precisely determine the latitude, longitude, and altitude of a receiver. It can provide positioning accuracy of 100 meters using Standard Positioning Service and up to 22 meters using Precise Positioning Service. India has also developed its own regional satellite navigation system called IRNSS, which was launched in 2013 and consists of 7 satellites orbiting at 15,000 km to provide similar positioning capabilities over India and surrounding regions.6.0

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.0 was released in July 2008 with new features like localized corrections, improved organization tools, and 64-bit support. It also introduced custom camera color profiles and profile matching creative styles in cameras. Lightroom 3.0 beta was released in October 2009 with new chroma noise reduction, sharpening tools, and watermarking grain. A second beta added luminance noise reduction, tethered shooting, basic video support, and point curves. Version three also included built-in lens correction and perspective control.4.0 4.1

- 1. Global Positioning System (GPS) The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that provides location and time information in all weather, anywhere on or near the Earth, where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. It is maintained by the United States government and is freely accessible by anyone with a GPS receiver. The GPS project was developed in1973 to overcome the limitations of previous navigation systems , integrating ideas from several predecessors, including a number of classified engineering design studies from the 1960s. GPS was created and realized by the U.S Department of Defense (USDOD) and was originally run with 24 satellites. It became fully operational in 1994.
