Many geodetic GPS applications require orbits of better accuracy than the predicted ones broadcast by the satellites themselves. However, orbits of high quality are available to users. Their generation is based on GPS data collected by dedicated tracking networks. Nevertheless, these orbits are ...
Because satellites in the Chinese BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) are in Geostationary Orbit (GEO) and Inclined Geosynchronous Orbit (IGSO), maneuvers occur more frequently. Also, the precise start moment of the BDS satellites' orbit maneuvering cannot be obtained by common users. This ...
Well, a few things to notice here are that, satellites have very well-defined orbits associated with them. The earth has its own rotation too, therefore the orbit of the satellite and the earth's rotation combinedly make the satellites orbit the entire earth. Without the earth's rotation, t...
HOW CHINA’S SATELLITE MEGAPROJECTS ARE CHALLENGING ELON MUSK’S STARLINK- China faces a tall order in its efforts to catch up to Elon Musk’s SpaceX satellite service. SpaceX’s Starlink already has nearly 7,000 operational satellites in orbit and serves around 5 million customers in more th...
HOW MANY SATELLITES CAN WE SAFELY FIT IN EARTH ORBIT?- Experts have been sounding alarm bells for years that Earth orbit is getting a bit too crowded. So how many satellites can we actually launch to space before it gets to be too much?
Space Junk Mess Getting Messier in Orbit Space debris: More storm clouds ahead in orbit, experts say Atmospherics at work While greenhouse gases cause warming here on Earth, they actually trigger cooling at altitudes where satellites orbit. Cooled air is less dense. Even though air density at...

3, the near-field TEC response showed very complex waveforms, with several peaks in TEC data. The amplitude of this response was also quite significant as compared to other earthquakes and was detected by ten GPS satellites5,6,34,35. Here we work with data of GPS satellite 26 that showed...
多轨道时代的曙光:探索多元发展。 | Standalone terminals that can switch between geostationary and low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites are about to become available for customer use, delivering a real-world test of multi-orbit broadband capabilities. Legacy geostationary operators have been busy drawing ...
The chosen four satellites are to represent debris objects at different altitudes in the LEO region. Their accurate CPF-format predictions are available on the ILRS data center CDDIS (ftp://cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov/slr/ cpf_predicts/) [5]. For these experiments, the CPF files in the second ...
