Well, then we have a particular space-jumper which was in the vincinity 
of that height.

You should get yourself a GPS simulator. For your purposes the Pendulum 
GPS simulator should be the cost-effective solution, but maybe you can 
afford the full-blown Spirent simulator. For most lab-bench tests, the 
simpler Pendulum has found good use even for those having the full-blown.

Wish I could afford one myself. Would be fun.

Cheers,
Magnus
