By the way, Frank's parallax method will probably work fine if we launch a low-tech satellite much lower than the Moon:-) I propose a simple baloon (small weight, large radius) made of foil. It will also work on some planets which have an appropriate low natural satellite... And in general CelNav on Mars seems to be a very rich topic of discussion:-) Especially from the point of view of Lunars. We have two satellites there, and can probably use both of them in a variety of ways. This will be certainly much cheaper than launching a GPS system for Mars, so the question seems to have some practical value if we are ever to navigate on Mars:-) Alex --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to NavList@fer3.com To , send email to NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
