Abstract
An attempt is made in this chapter to figure out the main ideas concerning the motion of the Earth, time systems, space reference systems, as well as the non-perturbation Kepler orbit. The problems dealt with in this chapter make use of definitions used in a wide variety of scientific fields, such as astronomy, geodesy, celestial mechanics, timekeeping, and satellite tracking and control. Some certain considerations are taken into account to measure the geostationary orbit.
