Source Locating Procedure.

Abstract

A computer program is presented for estimating the location of a target from satellite measurements of its photon emission. The satellite is assumed to have a number of detectors mounted at various orientations which monitor the photon count rates. From these the most probable target location is inferred by a least squares fitting technique. (Author)
