Present art MEOSAR localization is based on Time measurements and Frequency measurements on signals emitted by radio beacons, relayed by satellites and detected at a MEOLUT; however since the exact time of transmission of the beacon is unknown at the MEOLUT, Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) equations are applied. The present invention however, discloses that by carefully configuring the time of transmission at said beacon, even without directly communicating that specific time to the MEOLUT, Time of Arrival (TOA) equations could be applied at the MEOLUT enabling enhanced localization accuracy and/or fewer satellites in view required to localize the beacon. In particular, localization is enabled even upon a single burst emitted by the beacon and relayed to the MEOLUT by a single satellite.
