    Abstract: A method and system for providing integrity information from a spacecraft in a non-geostationary constellation of spacecraft. According to one aspect of the present invention, a terrestrial source is provided for generating and providing a position message to a spacecraft in the non-geostationary constellation. The position message causes the spacecraft to generate and provide a response message to the terrestrial source. The response message is processed in the terrestrial source to determine spacecraft position data. The spacecraft position data is then provided to the spacecraft and utilized by the spacecraft and other spacecraft in the constellation to provided integrity information to a navigational aid.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the real-time location of a multiplicity of Mobile Units by correlating a commanded radio signal from the specific Mobile Units received by multiple fixed antennae. The Mobile Units are equipped with a transceiver that is activated by an encoded broadcast and responds with a burst transmission on a separate frequency that is received by several well-surveyed antennae at slightly different times due to the variable distance of the Mobile Units to the Fixed Receiver antennae. The location of a Mobile Unit is determined by resolving the burst transmission time delay differences from at least four fixed antennae to eliminate the common system unknowns.
