Question
2. Consider the Clark 1866 reference ellipsoid. Its translation components from the geocentre have been estimated to be Xo = -25.82 m, Yo = 168.10 m and Zo= 167.31 m. A terrain station P has the following geodetic coordinates: 4 = 43° 32' 40.105" N +5'xgroup number, λ = 90° 05′ 24.993" E +5'xgroup number, and h = 258.26 m. Determine [30 points]: a) Geocentric Cartesian coordinates x, y, z of station P. b) Calculate its geodetic curvilinear coordinates in the WGS84 reference ellipsoid for a satellite having the following geocentric coordinates at a particular time instant: Xs = 4948 685.566 m, Ys = -3249478.132 m, and Zs= 3418646.589 m.
