Optimal distribution of VLBI transmitters in the Galileo space segment for frame ties
Abstract Equipping Galileo satellites with a VLBI transmitter (VT) will allow to observe satellites next to quasars with Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) radio telescopes. This concept will facilitate the direct estimation of the satellite orbits in the celestial reference frame. Moreover, t...
