Error estimation for delta VLBI angle and angle rate measurements over baselines between a ground station and a geosynchronous orbiter
Abstract
Baselines between a ground station and a geosynchronous orbiter provide high resolution Delta VLBI data which is beyond the capability of ground-based interferometry. The effects of possible error sources on such Delta VLBI data for the determination of spacecraft angle and angle rate are investigated. For comparison, the effects on spacecraft-only VLBI are also studied.
