Method of automatic correction of the calculations of the directions of geodetic satellites and analysis of the errors in restoring the trajectory of the orbit
Abstract
A method is presented that utilizes the coordinates of the earth's surface and photographs of stars as a reference system for determining the position of a satellite, and correcting errors in satellite position. Computer programs (sample printouts) are included.
