GPS has
- 6 satellites in 4 orbits
- 4 satellites in 6 orbits
- 7 satellites in 3 orbits
Explanation from PART66Online
The GPS constellation is arranged as six orbital planes each containing several satellites, with a nominal four satellites per plane giving the baseline twenty-four-satellite system. Describing it as four satellites in six orbits reflects this plane-and-satellite layout, which ensures enough satellites are in view worldwide for a fix.
