Abstract

The invention relates to the field of radio navigation and, more specifically, it relates to methods of determining the current values of the orbital position of the artificial satellite of the Earth which is used in a satellite radio navigation system (SRNS), by the ephemeredes and can be used when performing the radio navigation measurements in the equipment of the consumers of the SRNS signals. The variants of a fast method for determining the coordinates of the satellite are proposed, which consist in that the satellite coordinates are determined at preset points of the orbit spaced from each other by a selected time interval, and further determining the velocities of the satellite at the nodal points, while at the points between the nodal points the satellite coordinate are determined in the geocentric inertial system of coordinates are in a system the Greenwich geocentric coordinates using special formulas or the Taylor polynomial of the second or third order, and determining these at the nodal points using the six-order Taylor polynomial.
