Very-long-baseline interferometry offers advantages over conventional Doppler measurements. Conference paper shows feasibility of using data from very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) to locate and predict motion of satellites in highly elliptical orbits about Earth. VLBI data obtained from Deep Space Network. Data not only improves navigation accuracy but also acquired with less use of worldwide network of ground stations.
