New Technique Could Improve GPS
A new scientific technique could significantly improve the GPS navigation services that millions of people rely upon each day. ARL:UT's Space and Geophysics Laboratory and the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center have formed a radio interferometer between a GPS antenna and receiver and a large radio telescope that has observed distant quasars that are 5 billion light years away.
