Doppler accuracy

Doppler shift has not to be regarded in relation to the carrier frequency (1,6 Ghz) but in relation to the baseband bandwith, i.e the part of the signal that carries the payload.

5kHz is a number I found for channel spacing in Inmarsat-C. So with a doppler shift in the range of 1khz, speed accuracy should be pretty good.
