Ibix said:Because clock rates aren't something you can define at an instant in time. Take a photo of two clocks. Can you tell if they both tick at the same rate from that snapshot? No - one could have stopped, even. You need to look at two separate times, and then the ship and the satellite aren't co-moving for at least one of those.
So you could not simply know the positions given say the frame of reference of an observer in the centre of the sphere, and then use the equations to calculate it for a point in time for another frame of reference?
