Defense Meteorological Satellite Program satellites, like the one shown in an artist's rendition here, provide critical, strategic, and tactical meteorological and environmental data to military and civilian users around the world. Since the mid-1960's, when the Department of Defense initiated the DMSP, low, earth-orbiting satellites have provided the military with important environmental information. Each DMSP satellite has a 101-minute orbit and provides global coverage twice per day. (Courtesy illustration)

A graphic showcases how the Global Positioning System works. To provide continuous worldwide coverage, 2nd Space Operations Squadron utilizes 31 active GPS satellites orbiting the Earth at around 14,000 kph. 2nd SOPS can determine the exact global position of a device based on the differing amounts of time a device takes to receive signals from each of the satellites in view. For someone to have proper GPS connectivity, their device needs to have at least four of the 31 GPS satellites in view.
