Influence of uniform motion of the Earth in the space on aberration of electromagnetic waves propagating from a source installed on a satellite was discovered during tracking of the geostationary satellite. For the first time the parameters of the Earth’s motion were measured on this base without studying a position of stars on the sky. The annual averaged orbital velocity of Earth turned out to be equaled of 29.4 km/s that is close to the value of 29.765 km/s accepted in Observational Astronomy. The parameters of galactic motion of Sun system have also been measured and obtained values are 270o for apex right ascension (in astronomic literature-269.75o), 89.5o for apex declination (51.30o in astronomy) and 600km/s for velocity of Sun’s system.
Such results are direct evidence of fact that velocity of the uniformly moving system (in our case the Earth) can be measured with a device in which the source of radiation (geostationary satellite) and detector (antenna of the telescope) are fixed with respect to each other and the system itself. This fact is foundation for assertion of Special Relativity about light velocity constancy with respect to the observer to be revised.
