A simple algorithm for the calculation of the Transit navigation satellite fix - The Transit line of position
Abstract
A method for determining the fix of Doppler navigation satellite (of the Transit network) is presented; the method is based on geometrical definition of position relative to any given Transit measurement and the development of a line of position for the satellite. Means for treating the satellite oscillator instability are also incorporated in the algorithm.
