Position Experiments Using Distance Measurements of Satellite ATS—3
Following an invitation by N.A.S.A., the Bundesrepublik Deutschland carried out an experiment with the U.S. satellite ATS-3 (Applications Technology Satellite). The satellite is synchronous, or stationary with respect to the Earth's surface, at an altitude of about 35,800 km. above the equator....
