Abstract

The results of determination of Eutelsat-13B geostationary satellite orbital position in 2015-2016 using European station network for reception of DVB-S signals from the satellite are presented. The network consists of five stations located in Ukraine and in Latvia. The stations are equipped with radio engineering systems developed at the MAO. The measured parameter is time difference of DVB-S signal arrival (TDOA) in the network stations. The TDOA and satellite coordinate errors have been estimated using a numerical satellite motion model as ±2.6 m and ±35 m, respectively. Software applications for the numerical model is taken from OREKIT free space dynamics library.
