Radio tracking of artificial satellites has provided longitude differences between stations on different continents to 10 m. An accuracy of 1 m in the future is expected.

RÉSUMÉ

L'observation par radio des satellites artificiels a fourni des différences de longitude entre stations sur des continents différents а 10 m prés. On espère une précision de 1 m dans le futur.
