it really shows that you didnt even think about it once :D

look at how gps works (its really simple) then look at some passive systems and some active ones

you will see why noone made an elegant solution yet

Can't believe there isn't already a system which is capable of offering error within 1 millimetre.
Can't believe?

Because triangulation with signals from orbit passing through the atmosphere is trivial?

I am not taking about GPS.

I need GPS like system with satellite confined in a room capable of resolution within 1mm error.

I think there are several systems like LIDAR with less a millisecond error.
