#ShakeAlert is constantly being improved. The GNSS-enhancement may more quickly and accurately determine the magnitude and the area of shaking from large earthquakes resulting in faster notifications for people to take a protective action, such as Drop, Cover, and Hold On.

@USGS Are Shake Alert and My Shake the same thing?

USGS ShakeAlert2 years ago

@USGS Thanks for your question Bud. The @MyShakeApp uses data from the @USGS #ShakeAlert system in order to decide where to deliver alerts. So they are not the same thing. MyShake needs USGS to detect the quake and produce the data so MyShake can know where to deliver the alerts.

@USGS I look forward to more Michigan warnings.

Autonomous navigation in EW-contested environments is a field where Ukraine is setting global trends. While the world has relied on GPS, we have developed alternative satellite-independent navigation methods. And today, this expertise is unique to the global defense market. This is the reason why companies like Farsight Vision attract investments. Learn more about their system in the video👇

Türkiye Moves Closer to National GPS System With Fergani Fergani Space Technologies — founded by Baykar’s Selçuk Bayraktar — launched its second fully domestic satellite, FGN-100-D2 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9. Weighing 104 kg, the satellite entered a 510 km low-Earth orbit, marking another step toward Türkiye’s own Uluğ Bey Global Navigation System, a national GPS-class network. Fergani employs 135 engineers and aims to deploy 100+ satellites within five years, developing both an orbital transfer vehicle and a local launch system. 🔗 READ MORE:

STARLINK EYES GPS 2.0—SPACEX WANTS TO RUN THE MAP SpaceX just fired its shot—it’s gunning to replace GPS! In a pitch to the FCC, SpaceX revealed its satellite swarm is ready to deliver global PNT (Positioning, Navigation, Timing)—faster, safer, and independent of the Pentagon. Here’s what’s in orbit: •⁠ ⁠GPS-Free Power – Starlink’s low-orbit fleet runs solo, no military signal needed. •⁠ ⁠Global Lock-On – Resilient, secure tracking anywhere on Earth. •⁠ ⁠Direct-to-Phone Ready – Built to power services like T-Mobile’s space-texting plan. The old GPS playbook? Starlink just set it on fire! Source: TESLARATI

India has achieved a major milestone in aviation by successfully demonstrating a precision landing of a passenger aircraft using its indigenous GAGAN satellite-based navigation system. Developed by ISRO and the Airports Authority of India, GAGAN enhances GPS accuracy and could improve flight safety, reduce infrastructure costs, and enable more precise landings at airports across the country. Could satellite-based navigation systems like GAGAN become the future of aviation and reduce the need for traditional landing systems? #ISRO #GPS #navic #indigo #navigation #navigationsystem

A Clear View of Global Shipping Traffic! I visualised the global shipping traffic density in an experimental animation with all observed ship movement from 2015-2020, at 500m resolution from IMF's World Seaborne Trade Monitoring System & also NASA‘s Black Marble satellite imagery. The oceans and seas are transparent, creating a unique view that includes the other side of the globe. #b3d #gis #dataviz

🇨🇳 CHINA PLANS TO TAKE ON STARLINK BY LAUNCHING 200,000 SATELLITES Beijing has filed paperwork to launch a massive satellite constellation to rival Starlink. The state-backed China Satellite Network Group submitted its bid to the UN’s ITU, aiming to lock down radio frequencies for a global broadband network. The goal? A “secure, controllable, and efficient” satellite system - one that doesn’t rely on the West. Nothing says "global internet freedom" like 200,000 government-controlled satellites and a firewall in space. Source: SCMP

When GPS lies, ships stop moving. GNSS spoofing, the deliberate manipulation of satellite navigation signals, has been confirmed in the Gulf. Ships can’t trust where they are, so many are choosing not to go at all. The result: a sharp drop in vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint that carries ~20% of global oil flows. This isn’t just a navigation problem. When ships hesitate in a corridor this critical, supply chains feel it and so do energy prices. Kpler data doesn’t just show you the headlines. It shows you what’s happening before the headlines catch up.

Former IRGC Gen. Qalibaf made some interesting remarks, which can be interpreted as: Iran used GPS for its older missile type Emad in its first strikes on Israel in 2024. ➡️ But it wasn't aware that the U.S. has a space-based GNSS spoofing capability! Solution? ➡️ Adding a CRPA GNSS receiver on the existing arsenal of Emads. A technique known from the Shahed-136/Geran, which was later also seen on Russian Iskander SRBM modifications While newer, more advanced missiles can fly on INS-only, the solution to make older, cheaper missiles 'pin-point' accurate was to rely on external GPS.
