Abstract

The intervisible technique uses simultaneous optical observations of rockets or satellites for relative positioning of reference and unknown observers. The technique is developed using the method of maximum likelihood. Ten Air Force PC-1000 cameras in the southeastern United States participated in a program of simultaneous photographic observations of flashes from the ANNA 1-B geodetic satellite. Geodetic position determinations using these ANNA observations indicate that the PC-1000 camera system used with the intervisible technique is capable of extending geodetic control with an accuracy of about 10 m.
