A lunar orbiting satellite system executes orbit planning of assigning a function (positioning, communication, and flashing) to an artificial satellite (AS) depending on a relative position of the AS to the moon at a time when the moon and the AS are observed from an input point on the earth, and correcting the relative position, which changes in accordance with the moon revolution period. The system includes: a satellite orbit planner which assigns a function to each ASs forming an AS group flying around the moon depending on a relative position of each ASs to the moon at a time when the moon and ASs are observed from an input point on the earth, and set a target orbit according to the function; and a satellite controller which causes the each ASs to execute control based on the function to implement switching of the function.

A driving support system includes a driving support apparatus that receives a information related to a predetermined spot, determines whether or not the predetermined spot is present ahead in a subject vehicle lane in which a subject vehicle is present based on this information, causes an in-car instrument to perform a predetermined operation based on a relative distance between an object present in an adjacent lane and the subject vehicle when the predetermined spot is not present ahead in the subject vehicle lane, and restrains the in-car instrument from performing the predetermined operation when the predetermined spot is present ahead in the subject vehicle lane.

Mobile base stations for use with one or more portable utility locators to aid in determining the location of a particular locator during operation and to receive information associated with the utility for storage and/or retransmission to other devices or systems are disclosed.

Methods are provided for adjusting any correlation between a perspective of an onboard visual display and a current orientation of an inflight aircraft. The method comprises determining the current orientation of the inflight aircraft and determining the perspective of the visual display. The visual display is shown to a pilot of the inflight aircraft on a display element located onboard the inflight aircraft. The current orientation of the aircraft is compared with the perspective of the visual display to determine if the perspective of the visual display needs to transition to reflect the current orientation of the aircraft. If the display does need to be changed, a rate of transition of the visual display's perspective is selected based on current aircraft performance parameters. The perspective of the visual display is then transitioned to reflect the current orientation of the aircraft at the selected rate.
