#GPS is an incredible US taxpayer value. There are 6 active GPS satellites that have been operational more than 20 yrs. The oldest was launched in 1997. I believe the original satellite design life was 7 yrs. What a great success story. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_G… #GNSS #GIS

Wrap-up on extreme #solarstorm Fri-Sat-Sun, on hi-accuracy #GNSS in the north lats: SBAS - Fri was brutal. 6m+ horiz, 28m+ vertical err. Sat/Sun normal. RTK - lots of low-end RTK rcvrs not FIXing, esp. drones. Legacy RTK rcvrs performed normal. Experience counts. #GPS #GIS

The worst #solarstorm for #GNSS since the 2003 storms. WAAS/SBAS is tanking. Beware to those #GIS and #precisionag folks using WAAS for mapping high-accuracy and expecting the usual < 1m error. 1st image was around 3p PT. The 2nd was about 5p PT. Worse earlier in the day.

Wow, big #solarflare event! It tanked the United States cell networks and #GPS! No, no it did not. No impact on high-accuracy GNSS users. The cell networks?? Something, but it wasn't the sun. #GNSS @NWSSWPC #GIS

@The_MMW @LTI_finance It enables you to start your career faster, and is a door opener in many cases. But it doesn't stop a true entrepreneur.

2/2 Solar cycles are 13 yrs. We are midway to the peak of the current cycle. The extreme events usually occur between now and on the back-side of the peak. The sun spot activity in June 2023 was the highest since 2002. #GPS #GNSS #GIS bit.ly/3NDOrMF
