Traking History (1 Jan 1960 Jahr – 1 Jan 2022 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

GPS technology is not a recent development. In fact, GPS technology was brainstormed as early as the 1960s, with many of the first GPS technologies put into place in the mid to late ‘70s.
The story of GPS in fleet vehicles began in 1978, when the experimental Block-I GPS satellite (created by Rockwell International) was launched into space. This was a trial run of sorts for widespread GPS technology, and a successful one at that—by 1985, 10 more Block-I satellites were in space. These satellites were primarily used for military purposes, but they had limited scope—there just weren’t enough GPS satellites in space yet to for widespread tracking of vehicles. It took nine more years before the world would see a fully operational GPS satellite system—on January 17th, 1994, 24 Block-II satellites from the US Air Force were launched into space to complete the GPS network.
