Abstract

The basic parameters characterising the conditions in which me a surements to determine ship’s position by means of Artificial Satellites are made, are defined and analysed in this paper. These are the size of the service area, the period of satellites' transit through the service area, the elevation angle in the culmination, and the coverage of the globe with the Satellite Navigation System.
