Hello everybody,
I need help in finding the right position on the globe of an observer that looks on a geosynchronous satellite (the ones that fly right above the equator line).
I know the position of the satellite, and the unit vector of the antenna pointing (azimuth and elevation) and I need to find latitude and longitude of the observer.
Here I have the reverse way. The knowns are the satellite position and latitude and longitude of the observer and the unknown is the unit vector or the way the antenna looks in relation with a tangent plane of the given position.

I don't get the way they used the rotational matrix for transfering the values between the systems.
Here I have a representational picture:
