Navigation Technology: Part 1.3 - GPS Coordinates and Orbits Lecturer: Prof. Xin Chen

This document discusses navigation technology and GPS coordinates and orbits. It covers topics like Cartesian and geodetic coordinates, reference frames like the Conventional Terrestrial Reference System and Conventional Inertial Reference Systems, converting between reference frames, computing satellite orbits, Keplerian orbital parameters, and steps to obtain satellite positions and velocities in orbital coordinates and the Earth-Centered Earth-Fixed coordinate system.
