List of GPS satellites

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Samples of three GPS satellites' orbits over a five-year period (2013 to 2018)
  USA-242 ·   USA-239 ·   USA-151 ·   Earth

As of 15 August 2023, 83 Global Positioning System navigation satellites have been built: 31 are launched and operational, 3 in reserve or testing, 42 are retired, 2 were lost during launch, and 1 prototype was never launched. 4 Block III satellites have completed construction and have been declared "Available For Launch" (AFL). The next launch is GPS III SV07, originally scheduled for June 2024, currently NET January 2025.

The constellation requires a minimum of 24 operational satellites, and allows for up to 32; typically, 31 are operational at any one time. A GPS receiver needs four satellites to work out its position in three dimensions.[1]

SVNs are "space vehicle numbers" which are serial numbers assigned to each GPS satellite. PRNs are the "pseudo-random noise" sequences, or Gold codes, that each satellite transmits to differentiate itself from other satellites in the active constellation.

After being launched, GPS satellites enter a period of testing before their signals are set to "Healthy". During normal operations, certain signals may be set to "Unhealthy" to accommodate updates or testing. After decommissioning, most GPS satellites become on-orbit spares and may be recommissioned if needed. Permanently retired satellites are sent to a higher, less congested disposal orbit where their fuel is vented, batteries are intentionally depleted and communication is switched off.[2]

PRN to SVN history

[edit]

This section is for the purpose of making it possible to determine the PRN associated with a SVN at a particular epoch. For example, SVN 049 had been assigned PRNs 01, 24, 27, and 30 at different times of its lifespan, whereas PRN 01 had been assigned to SVNs 032, 037, 049, 035, and 063 at different epochs. This information can be found in the IGS ANTEX file[permanent dead link], which uses the convention "GNN" and "GNNN" for PRNs and SVNs, respectively. For example, SVN 049 is described as: 

BLOCK IIR-M         G01                 G049      2009-014A TYPE / SERIAL NO
