GPS Satellite Health Information

The information below shows the number of healthy GPS satellites, since 1998. The number of satellites in the GPS constellation comes from the SEM almanac for that day. The number of unhealthy satellites for that day comes from the Satellite Outage File. The SOF outages are subtracted from the number of satellites in the constellation to get the number of healthy satellites.

The list of unused PRN numbers come from those PRNs not listed in the SEM almanac.

Number of GPS satellites in the latest almanac: 31
Number of unhealthy GPS satellites in the SOF: 1
Current number of healthy GPS satellites: 30
Unused PRN number(s): 30

Healthy GPS Satellites Graph

This graph plots the number of healthy GPS satellites since 1998 (Full History), or over the last 365 days.

Note that since this is calculated on a daily boundary, this graph will show sequential outages in a single day as concurrent, and may not reflect the more updated statistics above.
