Earth Station Latitude Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Earth Station Latitude = Right Angle-Angle of Elevation-Tilt Angle
λ_e = ∠θ_R-∠θ_el-∠θ_tilt
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Earth Station Latitude - (Measured in Radian) - Earth Station Latitude refers to the geographical latitude coordinate of a specific ground-based station on Earth that is equipped to communicate with satellites.
Right Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Right angle refer to the orientation of the satellite antenna's main beam with respect to the Earth's surface.
Angle of Elevation - (Measured in Radian) - The angle of elevation in satellite communication refers to the vertical angle between the horizontal plane and a line connecting an Earth-based satellite dish or antenna to a satellite in space.
Tilt Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Tilt Angle refers to the angular displacement or inclination of a satellite antenna or dish from the vertical axis.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Right Angle: 90 Degree --> 1.5707963267946 Radian (Check conversion here)
Angle of Elevation: 42 Degree --> 0.733038285837481 Radian (Check conversion here)
Tilt Angle: 31 Degree --> 0.54105206811814 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

λ_e = ∠θ_R-∠θ_el-∠θ_tilt --> 1.5707963267946-0.733038285837481-0.54105206811814

Evaluating ... ...

λ_e = 0.296705972838979

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.296705972838979 Radian -->16.9999999999999 Degree (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

16.9999999999999 ≈ 17 Degree <-- Earth Station Latitude

Where are earth stations located?

The four ground receiving stations that make up the Landsat 7 USGS Ground Network are located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota; North Pole, Alaska; Alice Springs, Australia; and Svalbard, Norway. These sites receive both the science data (via X-band RF link) and the spacecraft housekeeping data (via S-band RF link).
