- The GPS ground segment (also referred to as the control segment or operational control system) is responsible for the proper operation of the GPS system.
- The GPS control segment is composed of a network of monitor stations (MS), a Master Control Systems (MCS) a backup of the MCS, and a Ground Antenna (GA).
- The GPS space segment consists of a constellation of transmitting radio signals to users. The linked states are committed to maintaining the availability of at least 24 operational GPS satellites, 95% of the time.
- The user segment is the practice of dividing all customers into segments based on characteristics they share. For example sorting users by region, language, or behavior.
