Preface to the Third Edition
After the first edition of this book was published at the end of 2003, Springer requested a revision for the second edition around 2006, and that was published at the end of 2007. The original edition was written based on experience with the software design of KSGsoft (Xu et al. 1998) and KGsoft (Xu 1999), and related research and practice in Germany and Denmark. The second edition benefited from the design of the multi-functional GPS/Galileo software (MFGsoft, Xu 2004). The new model of solar radiation for satellite orbit determination discovered through GPS research led to an attempt to solve the equations of satellite motion affected by second-order disturbances, which resulted in the book Orbits, published at the end of 2008, with a second edition in 2013, combined with intensive research (cf. Xu et al. 2010a,b, 2011; Xu and Xu 2012, 2013a,b). During that time, the author was further involved in GPS activities through his role in the supervision of Ph.D. studies and software development (cf. Wang et al. 2010; He 2015). In 2011, the second edition of GPS was translated into Chinese by the Peking Institute of Satellite Controlling and Telecommunication and was published by Tsinghua University P
