PROCEDURE ESTABLISHING SPACE COORDINATES OF TARGET Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: firing ground tests of specimens of armament. SUBSTANCE: procedure can be employed to follow flight of rocket and space vehicles at cosmodromes, to determine travel parameters of target by processing results of trajectory measurements data by opticoelectron and radio engineering means. Procedure consists in additional measurement of at least one distance from aiming point of trajectory measuring means which position is unknown to any point on ground surface. Position of given point on ground surface is known with accuracy commensurable to accuracy of geodetic referencing of aiming points of trajectory measuring means participated in measurements. Above-mentioned additional measurement is added to processing of all information obtained on joint section of measurements. EFFECT: increased accuracy of established space coordinates of target. 2 dwg
