Azimuth
Calculation
Chart
To calculate the azimuth that would incorporate the skew angle of the satellite terminal:
1.
Confirm the correct curve for the delta (Δ) calculated for the Skew Calculation.
2. Find latitude on the horizontal axis.
3. Find where the curve for the calculated delta intersects the latitude value.
4. Read off the vertical axis for the azimuth angle.
Example:
Earth station location: 001° 02’ 49” W 51° 09’ 02” N (51.151°, -001.047°)
Satellite Location:
62.6° E
Longitude Delta:
(-001.047 - 62.6) = -63.55°
Azimuth
angle:
111°
