  • The Matrix Orbital MX610 Ultra-Smart Character Display - Articles & reviews

    The Matrix Orbital MX610 Ultra-Smart Character Display. the matrix orbital mx610 ultra. To say that the Matrix Orbital MX610 displays a lot more than the time and other mostly redundant data is an understatement. There should be a 4-line display included, with twice the display possibilities that the Matrix Orbital MX610 can offer. The Matrix Orbital MX610 Is A Display For All Seasons Wouldn't it be great if you could have constant access to your most important information on its own display? The MX610 from Matrix Orbital makes this possible....

  • The Origins of GPS: Nazis, a Beautiful Movie Star and Guarded Secrets - Articles & reviews

    Thanks to correlators, the direct side benefit of having to time-shift C/A codes to match orbiting transmitters is the calculation of the receiver's distance from various satellites. Just as a speeding truck blowing by you sounds distinctly different from a slower truck, the different satellites in their different orbits do the same trick. The different satellites in their different orbits also produce Doppler shifts in their transmissions. Using complicated math, Doppler shift and the precisely known orbits of these satellites, your GPS receiver can tell you your speed more accurately than your car's speedometer. Ephemeris data, downloaded similarly to an Almanac, contains more precise but short lived orbital data that if available can vastly reduce the fix acquisition time....

  • PayPal founder's "budget" rocket roars into space - News

    A rocket funded by PayPal founder Elon Musk roared into space this morning and almost reached orbital velocity. A rocket funded by PayPal founder Elon Musk roared into space this morning and almost reached orbital velocity. The flight wasn’t completely successful and the rocket failed to reach orbital velocity. According to a statement issued by Space X, "The second stage didn’t achieve full orbital velocity, due to a roll excitation late in the burn, but that should be a comparatively easy fix once we examine the flight data."...

  • EU GPS Rival Satellite Successfully Transmits Data - News

    The satellite began to transmit navigational signals after a slight hiccup after launch saw it having difficulty manoeuvring into its correct orbit, though this was later rectified. All of this is on the road to clearing the launch of the first four Galileo satellites in 2010, with the entire 30-satellite cluster expected to be in orbit by 2013. Galileo, as well as other systems being put into orbit by countries like Russia and China, is designed to compete with the U.S. owned GPS. With other countries putting up orbital navigation systems it will be a lot harder to cut off any country – and its military – from having reliable and accurate satellite navigation....
