A method for calculation of slant-range differences to the active geostationary telecommunication satellite (GEO Telecom Satellite) is described in the article. The method is developed in the “Mykolaiv Astronomical Observatory” Research Institute. The results of observation of the “Eutelsat-25C” and “Eutelsat-13B” satellites with two receiving stations of digital satellite TV are discussed. The accuracy of determination of slant-range differences to the GEO Telecom Satellite is presented.Key words: radio interferometer, geostationary satellite, digital satellite televisionManuscript submitted 29.05.2015Radio phys. radio astron. 2015, 20(3): 238-246REFERENCES1.
