Finding the times that SMMR observed a shipIn order to facilitate the coincidence calculations, the coordinates of the ship and the satellite were transformed to the ECO system in which the equatorial plane is the plane of the satellite's orbit. The transformation matrices for each step are presented. The ship could be observed when it was in a band about the equator in the ECO system. The width of the band was determined by the scan pattern of the instrument.
