Analytical Solution for a Problem on Approximation of Functional Dependences for Parameters of a Geodesic Line

Abstract

A solution of a problem on synthesis for the analytical approximation of the dependence of longitude on latitude on the geodesic line of the spheroid and the great circle (orthodrome) of the Earth’s sphere is considered. Found functional dependencies can significantly reduce the instrumentation kit for measuring and navigation complex as well as the computational costs in solving navigation problems.
