That's a good URL. Thanks. More on the SVN vs. PRN issue... When I mistrust a GPS receiver and want to check where a satellite really is, I use the NASA satellite tracker: http://science.nasa.gov/Realtime/jtrack/3d/JTrack3D.html If any of you haven't heard of, or used this java applet yet, I highly recommend it. After you click on +J-TRACK 3D, click on Satellite->Select and pick any GPS satellite. The only trouble: our SV of interest, GPS BIIA-10 (PRN 32), is missing from the list (perhaps because it is still marked unhealthy?), so we can't get its orbit or ground track. I sent a note to NASA and we'll see if they fix it. If any of you know of another satellite tracking web site that shows SVN23/PRN32, let us know, ok? By the way, if one takes a screen capture of each GPS SV in the Jtrack3D list, you get this cute GPS orbit animation: http://www.leapsecond.com/pages/gps-orbit/ /tvb _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
