Solve the Fix
Bench log · Hopper on the test range
10:05. Hopper's range beacons all stand on the ground, and Hopper flies at 60 m. The fix is crisp in east and north and wanders by tens of metres in height. The beacon contractor has one more transmitter in the van and asks where to put it.
You will decide where it goes, write the least-squares fix that includes the receiver clock, and compute the dilution of precision that explains why.
Your task
Lab complete: post-mortem
You have passed every stage. Now connect it back to the theory and move on:
Output
What Python can I use?
Plain Python 3 with the standard library and the course library gnckit (import gnckit as g: transfer functions and margins, state space and LQR, the Hopper model, quaternions, a convex solver). NumPy is not available in the browser. Your code runs in a background worker: an endless loop is stopped after a few seconds and the page stays usable. It runs in your browser and is never sent anywhere.
