Scientific paper

Satellite vehicles carrying flashing lights have been proposed as a means of increasing the geodetic usefulness of the satellite. Short flashes from these lights observed by two or more stations would theoretically permit "fixing" the satellite's position with a great deal of accuracy, and would also obviate the necessity for precision timing of the observations. This theory overlooks atmospheric unsteadiness and image motion, which can cause the instantaneous photographic position of the satellite image to differ from its "true" position by easily as much as 2 or 3 seconds of arc. The disadvantages of "short flash" positioning are discussed in this report.
