The invention refers to a ranging system for determining ranging information of a spacecraft carrying a component of a communication channel. In order to provide a ranging system for determining ranging information of a satellite carrying a transponder as well as to provide a method thereof which yield a sufficient accuracy without causing further costs when narrow spot beams by the transponder are used, a ranging system according to the invention comprises a plurality of receiving stations at different locations on earth, wherein each receiving station is arranged for receiving a reference signal from said component; synchronisation means for providing a synchronised time base between the plurality of receiving stations; calculation means for calculating said ranging information in accordance with the propagation time of each received reference signal and with the synchronised time base; wherein at least one receiving station comprises a correlation receiver for receiving the reference signal.

Cette invention concerne un système d'alignement servant à déterminer des données d'alignement pour un vaisseau spatial qui porte un organe de canal de communication. Le système d'alignement selon l'invention, qui permet d'obtenir des informations d'alignement concernant un satellite équipé d'un transpondeur et de disposer d'un procédé offrant une précision suffisante sans grever les coûts dans le cas d'un transpondeur qui utilise des pinceaux fins, englobe une pluralité de stations réceptrices sises en divers points de la terre, chacune des stations réceptrices étant conçues pour recevoir un signal de référence dudit composant. L'invention concerne également un dispositif de synchronisation fournissant une base de temps synchronisée entre la pluralité de stations réceptrices ; et un dispositif de calcul permettant de calculer lesdites données d'alignement en fonction de la durée de propagation de chaque signal de référence reçu et de la base de temps synchronisée, une au moins des stations réceptrices comportant un récepteur à corrélation pour la réception du signal de référence.
