In summary, a pseudorange is a measurement of the distance between a receiver on Earth and a satellite, calculated using the time it takes for a signal to travel from the satellite to the receiver. It is important in the search for MH370 as it can help narrow down the possible location of the missing aircraft. The pseudorange data for the satellite of MH370 can be obtained from satellite operators or tracking and monitoring systems. The accuracy of the measurement can vary but is typically within a few meters. While it cannot determine the exact location of MH370, it can assist in narrowing down the search area when combined with other data.

I'm trying to calculate the final position of the missing Malaysian plane with the coordinates of the satellites known but I can't find the pseudorange of the four Inmarsat satellites on the Internet. Where can I find it?

I don't think that the satellite data has been publicly released.
 

FAQ: Where can I find the pseudorange of the satellite of MH370?

What is a pseudorange?

A pseudorange is a measurement of the distance between a receiver on Earth and a satellite, calculated using the time it takes for a signal to travel from the satellite to the receiver.

Why is the pseudorange important in the search for MH370?

The pseudorange can help narrow down the possible location of the missing aircraft by providing information about the distance between the satellite and the receiver at a specific time.

Where can I find the pseudorange of the satellite of MH370?

The pseudorange data for the satellite of MH370 is typically collected and recorded by satellite operators and can be obtained through them or through various tracking and monitoring systems.

How accurate is the pseudorange measurement?

The accuracy of the pseudorange measurement can vary depending on factors such as atmospheric conditions and receiver sensitivity. However, it is typically accurate within a few meters.

Can the pseudorange be used to determine the exact location of MH370?

The pseudorange alone cannot determine the exact location of MH370, but when combined with other data such as satellite imagery and flight path information, it can help narrow down the search area.
