Determination of coordinates relay satellites in range-difference system geolocation

Abstract

Indicated on the origin and development of geolocation as part of radio monitoring satellite links. Denotes the fundamental premise of the system geolocation. Disclosed rangedifference geolocation system, the algorithm of its functioning. Showing coordinate transformations in the interests of geolocation. Outlines the key factors that affect the accuracy of range-difference system of geolocation. Investigated a total-ranging method for determining the coordinates of relay satellites.
