Anyone know anything about "iGPS"? Apparently the Iridium low orbit communications sats are now modified via software update to send signals that when combined with GPS allow for a receiver that is MUCH more precise and harder to jam and can work in urban areas better. Apple just bought a company that is building iGPS receivers. Looks like something that they might want to put inside a cell phone but when you have an orders of magnitude important in position you'd expect better timing too, or so I would think.
Seems like a very smart idea if all that was required was a software upload to existing spacecraft. From what I read this is real, not a proposal another are real receivers being tested. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
