The image illustrates the Global Positioning System (GPS) with three segments. The space segment depicts satellites with solar panels and atomic clocks, highlighting 24 satellites orbit Earth every 12 hours at an altitude of about 20,000 km. The control segment shows control centers receiving data from six monitor stations before transmitting it to satellites. The user segment involves satellites continually transmitting coded data, with handheld receivers calculating distances to four satellites by timing the message transmission for determining locations on Earth.
Given the complexity of the image, the above description may not be entirely accurate.

The operational mechanism of the Global Positioning System (GPS) comprises three distinct components: the space segment, the control segment, and the user segment, each contributing to accurate location identification worldwide.
The space segment, containing 24 satellites orbiting Earth every 12 hours, facilitates the precise gathering, transmission, and reception of data.
The control segment, primarily, involves a control centre and radar systems at monitoring stations. These tools enable the detection of orbital variations, data monitoring, and information dissemination.
The user segment utilises measured distances to calculate and determine precise positions and time with satellites and handheld receiver.
