gravitational attraction can easily be modelIed for the high altitude GPS satellites by using the fIrst few terms of a geopotential model (such as GEM-TI or WGS 84) Tests have shown that an expansion up to degree and order 8 is suitable for predicting orbital arcs of a few days
GPS (Global Positioning System) is a constellation of satellites that orbit the Earth Each satellite completes two orbits a day in one of six orbits Orbits designed so there are 6 satellites in view from most places on Earth A GPS device allows a user determine his/her position by receiving the signals from multiple satellites
For example consider a GPS satellite for which r = 26561 km; this is the altitude corresponding to a 12 hour orbit For a 10 degree masking angle formula (1) with ? = 24 produces sin ? = 9158 so ? = 1 16 radians and f is 30 Each GPS satellite can see 30 of Earth
Altitude 36000km GEO satellites match the rotation of the Earth as they travel and so remain above the same point on the ground Hundreds of GEO satellites are in orbit today traditionally delivering services such as weather data broadcast TV and some low-speed data communication
The Space segment: The space segment consists of 24 satellites circling the earth at 12000 miles in altitude This high altitude allows the signals to cover a greater area The satellites are arranged in their orbits so a GPS receiver on earth can always receive a signal from at least four satellites at any given time
The real-time orbit determination strategy would therefore be to obtain a point positions at perigee to solve for the initial position velocity and time bias and use the values to seed a Kalman filter that could then provide state vector updates even when only one GPS satellite was being tracked Figure 1
