Abstract
Consider the basic observation equation which relates the range ϱ with the instantaneous position vector \( \underline \varrho ^S \) of a satellite and the position vector of \( \underline \varrho _R \) the observing site:
In Eq. (3.1) both vectors must be expressed in a uniform coordinate system. The definition of a three-dimensional Cartesian system requires a convention for the orientation of the axes and for the position of the origin.
