During which stage of developing the global positioning system did engineers first apply the theory of relativity
to design the product?
The global positioning system (GPS) uses
electromagnetic waves sent between computer devices
on Earth and satellites in space to automatically
determine the exact position of the computer device on
Earth. In order to create this technology, engineers had
to apply Einstein's theory of relativity, which explains
how electromagnetic waves change direction in space.
