There was no misquote. The quote was perfectly accurate, the ellipsis was included, and your hilarious failure to grasp the meaning of ECI frame was just number seventy seven on the List of All Time Memorable Sleepy Mega Blunders.Listen, pal, I can appreciate how tough it is for you to have to accept that JPL has just been shown to do all its interplanetary satellite navigation computations in an Earth Centered Inertial Frame, with Sagnac corrections making the Earth based receiver the preferred reference frame for all these computations, in DIRECT contradiction of Relativity Theory.
But there it is.
>>Well, at least we agree on that :-)
>>I would be tempted to simply conclude that you are a liar, if I had not had so many evidences in this thread of your stupendous ability to blunder. Let's give you the benefit of the doubt here, that you are simply blundering again.
Here again, Sleepy, is the direct quote from the scientists themselves:
So, Sleepy, we see that the ENTIRE (that is, the WHOLE, the COMPLETE, the TOTALITY OF) the computation is NOT done, as you said, in the solar frame. Instead, it is done in the EARTH BASED frame.
Now it is my pleasure to debate issues, but when my adversary is reduced to either:
a) a pathetic inability to read the simple words of the sources cited OR,
b) bald facedly lying,
then intellectual honesty requires that we take a "time out", and determine which is which.
So, Sleepy, I will now ask you to please acknowledge that you have read and understood the quote above, and that you now grasp that the entire computation for interplanetary space probe navigation is done by JPL in the EARTH CENTERED INERTIAL FRAME.
If you do not respond, and if you do not signify that yes, you do now understand that the entire computation for interplanetary space probe navigation is done by JPL in the EARTH CENTERED INERTIAL FRAME , then it will be necessary to point out that further debate with you on this question would be superfluous.
The debate would have been settled, in such a case, on incontestibly clear grounds.
I await your response.
**************************************************************
Providing another misquote is not really gonna help you convince people here with your arguments or much less with your credibility, oh Knowledgeable Poser.
>>If one is honest, one provides evidence of so serious an accusation as a misquote. Since you have never provided any such evidence, and yet you repeat the slander, I must, sadly, conclude that you are indeed a wilful, knowing, and premeditated liar. Unlike you,I shall now provide the specific evidence of your reprehensible, scandalous, dishonesty:
FIRST LIE BY SLEEPY: Accusation of misquote, without posting any evidence of a misquote,

Here is the link again: http://www.aliceinphysics.com/introduce/ion.pdf . The Navcom quote is on page 5.

GPS, Sagnac Effect, and Ashby Claims
At this point we want to consider a number of claims that
Ashby [4] has recently made in regard to GPS and the
Sagnac effect. We address three specific comments which
Ashby made and respond to each below.. . . .
(3)The final claim by Ashby, which we contest, is: "Of
course if one works entirely in the nonrotating (sic)
ECI frame there is no Sagnac effect." The only way
this claim can be true is if we adopt the definition
sophistry of the prior claim. But we have even more
convincing data that Ashby's claim is false. NavCom
Technology, Inc. has licensed software developed by
the Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) which, because of
historical reasons, does the entire computation in the
ECI frame. Because of some discrepancies between
our standard earth-centered earth-fixed solution
results and the JPL results, we investigated the input
parameters to the solution very carefully. The
measured and theoretical ranges computed in the two
different frames agreed precisely, indicating that the
Sagnac correction had been applied in each frame.
>>Note that the bolded portion of this quote is precisely that point which Sleepy is willing rather to lie, slander, and obfuscate, than to honestly address.

The quote you cite again has nothing to do with inter-planetary probes but with GPS.
>>SECOND LIE BY SLEEPY: "The quote you cite has nothing to do with inter-planetary probes but with GPS"
As has previously been posted, the authors are addressing BOTH interplanetary and GPS, as they themselves tell us, ONE PARAGRAPH below the end of Sleepy's citation above:
"The JPL equations [10], used to track signals from interplanetary space probes, verify that the speed of light is with respect to the chosen frame."

Of course JPL uses software based on Earth-based coordinates (ECI) to track GPS
>>That is correct. And, as you will never be able to lie sufficiently to falsify, JPL also uses software based on Earth based coordinates (ECI) to track interplanetary space probes, AS YOU YOURSELF JUST TOLD US IN YOUR QUOTE ABOVE:
"NavCom Technology, Inc. has licensed software developed by the Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) which, because of historical reasons, does the entire computation in the ECI frame."
So we see that Sleepy is simply willing to lie, brazenly, in hopes that he can confuse the simple-minded sufficiently to prevent them from grasping the catastrophic truth, which is this:
1. The ENTIRE computation in the JPL software- both GPS and interplanetary- is done IN THE ECI (Earth Centered Inertial) frame.
2. SUBSEQUENT computations (footnote 10 references a scientific paper which provides an exhaustive list of these) are employed to SHIFT the computation to a solar system frame, ONLY in the case of INTERPLANETARY probes.
3. BOTH sets of computations involve a SAGNAC correction which is ONLY with regard to an EARTH BASED receiver, in explicit contradiction to the established assumptions of Relativity.
As I have said before, honesty is important in scientific debate, and Sleepy, you are simply not being honest here. It is a terrible and frightening thing, to see a person willing to twist and lie, in order to escape the necessity of honestly addressing the facts which might present serious difficulties for his position.
I had earlier said that I had much more respect for you than some of the other participants in this debate, since you had at least shown a willingness to do research and engage on the eivdence.
I must sadly amend that observation, since there is nothing at all worse than bald-faced dishonesty in a scientific debate.
We have seen, so far, two specific instances of Sleepy posting what I cannot find any way to ascribe merely to his previously well-established ignorance. These two instances are, very sadly, lies.

because unlike deep space probes which goes into an interplanetary jaunt, its job area is limited to only here on Earth (ie. provide pinpoint locations here on Earth). I do hope you know the difference between a GPS satellite and a deep space probe like the Voyager probes or am i asking too much.
>>Not only do I know the difference. So do the authors of our staudy, who have already told you:
"NavCom Technology, Inc. has licensed software developed by the Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) which, because of historical reasons, does the entire computation in the ECI frame."

The fact that your using an Earth-based GPS study like Wang and Hutch's, "Conducting a Crucial Experiment of the Constancy of the Speed of Light Using GPS" - Comments on Ashby's "Relativity and the Global Positioning System"
>>This is simply another repetition of the same lie we exposed above. The authors themselves assure us that the study also addresses interplanetary probes, when they tell us:
The JPL equations [10], used to track signals from interplanetary space probes, verify that the speed of light is with respect to the chosen frame.

to prove that inter-planetary probes uses geocentric coordinates is just plain stupid.
>>Take it up with the authors of the study, who, as far as I can tell, are far less stupid than you are, and a whole bunch more honest:
"NavCom Technology, Inc. has licensed software developed by the Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) which, because of historical reasons, does the entire computation in the ECI frame.
