The American Worldwide Positioning system briefly GPS is called from 2010 not more 100 percent be functional. Today almost every driver uses GPS, and it is only difficult to introduce one must get by without navigation system. Exactly this fiasco threatens there Galileo only in 2012-2013 does not finish and the Americans her satellites early enough have exchanged. Since several GPS satellites reach in 2010 the end of her life span and must be exchanged to guarantee the entire effectiveness of GPS. At the age of 3 years verspätung the first new satellites were shot in November, 2008 in all, unfortunately, too late. Genau dieses Fiasko droht da Galileo erst 2012-2013 fertig wird und die Amerikaner ihre Satelliten nicht früh genug ausgetauscht haben. Denn etliche GPS Satelliten erreichen 2010 das Ende ihrer Lebensdauer und müssen ausgetauscht werden, um die vollständige Funktionsfähigkeit von GPS zu gewährleisten. Mit 3 Jahren verspätung wurden im November 2008 die ersten neuen Satelliten ins All geschossen, leider viel zu spät.

Should one not succeed the air Force, however in renewing early the necessary number of satellites, this could concern military as well as private users.
