The Current State of GEODSS Astrometry.

Abstract

This report summarizes the present status of the implementation of real-time positional data reduction at the GEODSS Experimental Test Site. The report embraces definitions of the various procedures which have been explored, their respective futures, their accuracies and precisions, their source files, and how the operator interacts with these procedures in a computer controlled electro-optical artificial satellite observatory. The Introduction contains references to the documents that describe the underlying philosophy, theoretical and practical foundations, and computational details. (Author)
