Problem for latitude 28.28°N, longitude 16.25°W
Three satellites at 13°E, 19.2°E and 28.2°E Azimuth compass bearing for satellite at 28.2°E = 122.50 degrees Elevation = 31.56° Azimuth compass bearing for satellite at 13°E = 136.95 degrees Elevation = 43.96° I gotta position the parabolic satellite so that it's aimed at a spot in the sky right in the middle of these two coordinates: Solution: Azimuth compass bearing = 129.7 Elevation = 37.76° I know we have some math wizards here, so you all better check my calculations, as I'm going to be relying on this hodge-podge to stay informed of the Summer's events via Fox News, BBC World, Sky News, CNBC, NPR -- Don |
