| Summary: | Range and,interferometric observations have been
examined for their potential, application in a geometric
approach to determination of satellite ephemeri. The
approach differs from the normal (dynamic) approach in that
each satellite position is treated as an independent state
variable or benchmark.
Programs have been developed that simulate and format
the input, data for the least squares estimation routines,
and perform statistical analyses of those results. Random error, tropospheric refraction errors, and atomic clock errors have been considered, and the range observation adjustment program directed to solve for clock errors. === Master of Science |
