Aerospace Navigation Analysis Tools
March 17 1999 Over the next few months, I will be presenting on this page my simple software solutions for navigation analysis.
The term navigation, in contemporary aerospace usage, means the determination of a vehicle's position and velocity at any given time.The methods of aerospace navigation are the application of simplephysical laws to construct dynamic models of free or powered motion, and combine these models with sensor measurements in a feedbackcompensation loop which adjusts the parameters of the dynamic model to limit or minimize the error in the predicted measurements. I am now presenting my first and most basic tool of navigation analysis, the module Linear. February 21 2000 Here is a presentation of the time utilities. Included are functions that convert UTC or GMT time toGPS time and GPS time to UTC or GMT time. Thanks for dropping by -- Cary Semar Email: [email protected] |
