Essay / Research Paper Abstract
5 pages in length. Humans have forever longed to explore the unknown elements of space, a vast, mysterious entity that engulfs a planet currently inhabited by several billion people. Indeed, one of the ultimate -- if not awe-inspiring -- quests in relation to space exploration has been to determine just how hospitable other planets' living
conditions are as the earth's own population continues to push the limits of sustenance. Another even more compelling reason for delving out into the darkness of space is to find out what other forms of life might also live within the galaxies; certainly, people are not so egocentric to think that humans are the only life forms to exist. Yet a third has become one of the most intriguing components of contemporary space exploration: global position systems (GPS). GPS has, indeed, captured the attention and imagination of earthlings worldwide, inasmuch as it represents the future in space exploration. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Indeed, one of the ultimate -- if not awe-inspiring -- quests in relation to space exploration has been to determine just how hospitable other planets living conditions are as the
earths own population continues to push the limits of sustenance. Another even more compelling reason for delving out into the darkness of space is to find out what other
forms of life might also live within the galaxies; certainly, people are not so egocentric to think that humans are the only life forms to exist. "After World War
II, both the United States and the Soviet Union created programs to improve the design of rockets which would make space travel possible. What then followed was a race
to travel into space with unmanned probes and manned spacecraft" (Anonymous #2, 2000). Yet a third has become one of the most intriguing components of contemporary space exploration: global
position systems (GPS). GPS has, indeed, captured the attention and imagination of earthlings worldwide, inasmuch as it represents the future in space exploration. GPS is a collection of twenty-four
US Department of Defense (DOD) satellites that circle the earth in varying rotations. Emitting radio wave signals back to earth, GPS receivers then retrieve the messages as a means
by which to determine the satellites position. Calculating latitude, longitude and elevation requires the simultaneous signals from no fewer than four satellites. The US DOD developed this scientific
technology in order to more accurately assess navigation, a process that had become quite complicated. The relative simplicity of global position systems allows for necessary ease of navigation, as
well as a far more precise result. Named NAVSTAR -- Navigation System with Time and Ranging - the space positioning of these satellites is such that "no matter what
