Computation of Positions of Doppler Satellite Observing Stations.
Abstract
A computer program is described which forms and solves normal equations for station position and bias parameters. The satellite observations are obtained from the geoceiver, a lightweight Doppler tracking equipment. The orbit of the satellite is held fixed in the computations. A single pass solution for longitude and latitude as well as a three-dimensional solution for longitude, latitude, and height is computed. The program also includes segments for filtering the data, correcting for ionospheric and tropospheric refraction, and navigating the station in the plane of the satellite velocity vector and station position.
