Thank you for this video, please keep it up!

Viva Rusia ❤

Could be a Russian system for communicating to submarines.

Es sorprendente .

TY!

China and Russia is my guess.
@Korporaal1 Says:
Yeh, yeh, yeh... Of COURSE it's Russia... The really cool part of the video is at 24:00. --> That's a good professor. (That, and the quasar)
@flpalacios9633 Says:
Tal como suponía, la mejor manera de entender como funciona algo tan complejo es analizando un fallo sutil. Muchas gracias y enhorabuena por el enorme esfuerzo de investigación y divulgación pública de unos sistemas que han cambiado nuestra manera de vivir.

7:46 Wrong, Satellite knows where it is, by knowing where it isn't.
@RAMEN_Labs Says:
I WANT TO KNOW MOREEEEEEEE 😂😂😂😂😂
@maxlytvyn Says:
"conflict in the region", oh, come on, Derek, it's like calling a r@pe "a minor disagreement between lovers". Why do you have to be like this? If you see evil, call it what it is.

@SpaceCaptainLexi Says:
Shoot it down. Shoot every goddamn last Russian satellite down over and over and over until they issue an official apology and extensive compensation.
@christopherbraun1978 Says:
Good piece. Seriously good (I work on spaceflight electronics, though not GPS) as a technician. Do the spoofing one, please.
@Rocketfist-g7o Says:
Na if it was true Russia would have used it over Ukraine
@magomedovmaksim5827 Says:
Так вот зачем эти космосы нужны. Слава советским(они и сейчас такие) конструкторам и инженерам. Работайте братья!
@Uradyn Says:
24:20 Hats off for this man for admitting an error
@stevenjacobs6608 Says:
I literally deployed a dozen systems which could seem and collaboratively pinpoint this issue within 1 session of doing a mid week sweep, 1 hour setup for each system and time data stamped to the Ms.
@bryceb1234 Says:
I would love to hear about spoofing!
@rallychamp2003 Says:
The israelis were spoofing gps signals in Jordan in 2024 so all phone based navigation was impossible. Wherever you were in the country your position was given as on the runway at the main international airport.
@angrywhiteman-z5m Says:
Why would you think that Putin and his crews of crooks wouldn't deliberately build stuff to cock up our GPS. Can you imagine what they would do to screw us? You should never ever trust a Russian despot psychopath. With all that bandwidth out there why would they put any deliberate communication bursts in the area of GPS?
@SeaScoutDan Says:
26:14 We detected a missle incoming. Lets jam its GPS when it is going any mid course corrections. . . good plan.
@flboy77 Says:
Being scientists, they were able to come to the conclusion in many, many months and tons of work. Being an armchair geopolitician, I came to the conclusion from the thumbnail and a single thought: It was the Russians.
@gerwinklop9486 Says:
Why is it always russia😭🤣
@перший-справжній-український Says:
Thank you Derek for explaining why I shouldn't watch you anymore.
@mariaekman13 Says:
Experiencing gps jamming right now in Sweden, but also know its in Canada. AI says "magnetic field jitter"
@DerpyDaringDitzyDoo Says:
I was expecting a "The satellite knows where it is, because it knows where it isn't" joke the whole video.
@Joe-d1l6i Says:
You dont even need to ask the question, you only ask it because you are american, the answer is always russia...
@JettsGaming1 Says:
As an American you lost me at “Zed” 6:56 😂

@jamesneely2967 Says:
okay, so now i understand the need for space force
@RusselFones Says:
I always assumed GPS satellites were in geostationary orbit, basically staying in the same spot in the sky. I figured that meant a lot less calculation was needed.
@jamesbrock1777 Says:
What if you don't have your G? P s on and your phone is in a faraday bag, until you're ready to know where you're at
@daniel-gardner Says:
Thank you so very much Veritasium for producing these videos - top notch !
@homesformeremortals5935 Says:
Yes, we want to hear more about gps spoofing.

ok guys i was wrong cranberry juice does not help with ALL acid problems. only solves heartburn for around an hour uhuuhggg yeouch

Such a beautiful world we live in, yet some monsters can only put out rot and decay in it. Godbless you guys for giving us such great videos and such interesting topics.
@ThomaskellySr. Says:
Why am I not surprised that a Russian satellite is responsible, Putin is not a good person. He had to have ordered the disruption of the GPS network in hopes that it would affect Ukraine.
@DehJarlorNoob Says:
Imagine explaining this to a medieval peasant.
@GarroldR Says:
Someone in Europe was trying to turn on a window unit.
@OddBallPerformance Says:
I mean, who is actually surprised it was Russia? GPS is an American invention that came from the Cold War era. They likely developed strategies to knock out our own satellites to make us "blind." Why do you think we developed and tested a missing that could be fired from a fighter that could escape the atmopshere and strike a satellite? We did that test publicly for a reason - Russia. ;)
@austrogalant Says:
Given that this is an early missile warning satellite constelation, from a military perspective it is extremely smart to build a jammer/spoofer into these satellites. People often seem to forget that GPS is a military system. And with this capability, once a (nuclear) missile launch is detected by the satellite it can automatically start to jam/spoof the navigation of said missile. And if you talk to your satellites on the same frequency as well so the enemy can't jam you back? Brilliant. Credit where credit is due. PS: the civilian impact would still be minimal, even if this system was turned on continuously, because as pointed out in the video, your device can easily swap to one of the other positioning systems, like Galileo.

scary stuff good thing I know how to read a map

I want to hear more on the "anonymous tip".. That part was completely overlooked. What we call a 'semi-naive' tip

autotranslated title and description -> thumbs down! video itself is great as always
