In connection with MITES data reduction operations, the ephemerides for Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites are required. MITES is a system of miniature radio interferometer terminals for the measurement of baseline vectors on the ground by means of interferometric observations of GPS satellites. MITES employs the LSI-11 microprocessor with 64 KB of memory for the involved numerical operations, and it is, therefore, necessary to have for the calculation of the satellite ephemerides a model which will run on this microcomputer. The present investigation is concerned with the solution of this problem. Attention is given to a general description of the considered model, the partial derivatives, and the adaptation of a semianalytical orbit model, used on a larger computer, for the LSI-11 by means of an overlay structure.
