Hi all:I place a question a couple of days ago. Unsure whether it went through.Please find the attached diagram. Basically explains how to get the equation of a plane intersecting a sphere and defining a circle. The solution of three of such planes may be applied to find location from 3 observations without knowing the DR. I am not aware of a similar method.Thanks
