TL;DR: This is a modern textbook that guides the reader trough the theory and practice of satellite orbit prediction and determination from basic principles of orbital mechanics, and covers elaborate force models as well as precise methods of satellite tracking.

TL;DR: The status and tracking capabilities of the IGS monitoring station network are presented and the multi-GNSS products derived from this resource are discussed and the achieved performance is assessed and related to the current level of space segment and user equipment characterization.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a complete and rigorous overview of the fundamentals, methods and applications of the multidisciplinary field of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), providing an exhaustive, one-stop reference work and a state-of-the-art description of GNSS as a key technology for science and society at large.

TL;DR: An initial characterization and performance assessment of the COMPASS/BeiDou-2 regional navigation system is presented and the benefit of triple-frequency measurements and extra-wide-lane ambiguity resolution is illustrated for relative positioning on a short baseline.

TL;DR: In this paper, an elegant formulation of the linearized equations of relative motion is discussed and adopted for satellite formation design, and the concept of eccentricity/inclination-vector separation is extended to low-Earth-orbit (LEO) formations.
