Near real-time ATS-5 satellite positions and short term position predictions were derived from an experimental L-band trilateration network. Satellite position accuracies of approximately 0.0002 degrees in latitude and longitude and 20 meters in earth center distance were demonstrated. Individual slant range measurements from the master ground station to the satellite were precise to within 12 meters; from the satellite to each of two automatic remote transponders, 23 meters. The trilateration network comprised a master ground station near Schenectady, New York and remote unmanned transponders in Buenos Aires, Argentina and near Wahiawa, Hawaii.
