Overnight
calibrator observations used to update locations and motions

of selected
communications satellites

Overnight
calibrations used as starting point for full-disk mapping and
|
|
|
|
establishment of
positions of dominant solar compact sources
|
|
|

Solar
self-calibration used to refine antenna phases
|
|
|
|
– |
Will gradually
increase uncertainty in location of solar sources.
|
|
|
| • |
Periodically, a
small subset of antennas briefly observe a pre-located
|
|
|
|
communications
satellite. (Preserves continuity of
solar coverage.)
|
|
|
| • |
Returning subset
is used to update absolute locations of compact solar
|
|
|
|
sources.
|
|
|
| • |
At end of day,
long calibration on phase calibrator to confirm inferred
|
|
|
|
antenna phases
and compact source locations.
