Abstract:

This report considers the orbital mechanics aspects of a system of satellites to be used for position determination of any point on or near the surface of the earth. Only satellites having a period of twenty-four hours are examined. No perturbing forces are taken into account. Three and four satellites are required to be visible at twnety and ten degrees elevation angles respectively. A system of sixteen satellites is described which has the required properties.
