The Global Positioning System, commonly referred to GPS, is one of the most significant advancements in Earth navigation. It uses a vast network of Earth orbiting satellites, transmitting precise microwave signals to Earth.
As aircraft became faster and more sophisticated, the equipment that their pilots wore had to adapt as well. It became clear that the human body was not naturally able to cope with the stresses that flying in these modern aircraft put on it. One of the main issues was G-force, which in simple terms is the increase in gravity due to acceleration.
As we reflect on an extraordinary year, we’re deeply grateful to our many generous partners who helped us expand access to our nationally recognized collection - celebrating San Diego as a vital center of air and space history, culture and innovation.
