- History
- The first satellite navigation system, Transit, used by the
United States Navy, was first successfully tested in
1960. It used a constellation of five satellites and could
provide a navigational fix approximately once per hour.
In 1967, the U.S. Navy developed the Timation satellite
that proved the ability to place accurate clocks in space,
a technology required by GPS. In the 1970s, the
ground-based Omega Navigation System, based on
phase comparison of signal transmission from pairs of
stations,[10] became the first worldwide radio navigation
system. Limitations of these systems drove the need for
a more universal navigation solution with greater
accuracy
