We examine in particular the improvement realized when a GPS receiver in low Earth orbit (LEO) augments the ground network. Various orbital configurations for the LEO are considered and the observability of geocenter location based on GPS tracking is compared to that based on satellite laser ranging (SLR). The distance between a satellite and a ground tracking-site is the primary measurement, and Earth rotation plays important role in determining the geocenter location. Compared to SLR, which directly and unambiguously measures this distance, terrestrial GPS observations provide a weaker (relative) measurement for geocenter location determination. The estimation of GPS transmitter and receiver clock errors, which is equivalent to double differencing four simultaneous range measurements, removes much of this absolute distance information. We show that when ground GPS tracking data are augmented with precise measurements from a GPS receiver onboard a LEO satellite, the sensitivity of the data to geocenter location increases by more than a factor of two for Z-component. The geometric diversity underlying the varying baselines between the LEO and ground stations promotes improved global observability, and renders the GPS technique comparable to SLR in terms of information content for geocenter location determination. We assess a variety of LEO orbital configurations, including the proposed orbit for the geodetic reference antenna in space mission concept. The results suggest that a retrograde LEO with altitude near 3,000 km is favorable for geocenter determination.

Impact of the atmospheric drag on Starlette, Stella, Ajisai, and Lares Orbits / Krzysztof Sosnica in Artificial satellites, vol 50 n° 1 (March 2015)

The appropriate modeling of non-gravitational forces is essential for the orbit determination of artificial Earth satellites. The atmospheric drag is a dominating perturbing force for satellites at low altitudes up to about 700-1000 km. This article addresses the impact of the atmospheric drag on mean semi-major axes and orbital eccentricities of geodetic spherical satellites: Starlette, Stella, AJISAI, and LARES. Atmospheric drag causes the semi-major axis decays amounting to about ▲a = -1.2, -.12, -.14, and -.30 m/year for LARES, AJISAI, Starlette, and Stella, respectively. The density of the upper atmosphere strongly depends on the solar and geomagnetic activity. The atmospheric drag affects the along-track orbit component to the largest extent, and the out-of-plane to a small extent, whereas the radial component is almost unaffected by the atmospheric drag Numéro de notice : A2015-287 Affiliation des auteurs : non IGN Thématique : POSITIONNEMENT Nature : Article En ligne : http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/arsa.2015.50.issue-1/arsa-2015-0001/arsa-2015-00 [...] Format de la ressource électronique : URL article Permalink : https://documentation.ensg.eu/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=76406 [article]

Two orientation models are considered and compared: Toutin’s model (Canada Center for Remote Sensing), implemented in the commercial software package PCI-Geomatica and based on Ground Control Points (GCPs), and the radargrammetric model implemented in the scientific software SISAR (University of Rome La Sapienza), based on images metadata orbital information only. Moreover, a comparison between the DSMs following the image matching approaches implemented in PCI-Geomatica and SISAR has been performed. The analysis has been carried out over Beauport test site (Quebec, Canada), where three overlapping stereopairs, one for each of the mentioned platform, were acquired and a LiDAR ground truth and a dense set of GNSS Check points (CPs) are available. The presented results appear promising: DSMs accuracy are within 4 and 5 m for all sensors, independently from orientation model (with or without GCP) and image matching approach, provided good relative orientation is guaranteed, what mainly attains to the quality of metadata orbital information.

Galileo orbit determination using combined GNSS and SLR observations / Stefan Hackel in GPS solutions, vol 19 n° 1 (January 2015)

Both satellites are equipped with two different types of clocks, namely rubidium clocks and hydrogen masers. Based on two test periods, the quality of the Galileo orbit determination based on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) observations is assessed. The estimated satellite clock parameters are used as quality indicator for the orbits: A bump at orbital periods in the Allan deviation indicates systematic errors in the GNSS-only orbit determination. These errors almost vanish if SLR observations are considered in addition. As the internal consistency is degraded by the combination, the offset of the SLR reflector is shifted by +5 cm, resulting in an improved orbit consistency as well as accuracy. Another approach to reduce the systematic errors of the GNSS-only orbit determination employs constraints for the clock estimates with respect to a linear model. In general, one decimeter orbit accuracy could be achieved.

Moreover, the SLR technique has a great contribution to a definition of the global terrestrial reference frame, estimation of the Earth rotation parameters and the time variable Earth's gravity field. The long time series of precise SLR observations allow validating many models, e.g., ocean tide models, Earth gravity field models, atmospheric pressure loading models, atmosphere and ocean induced time variable gravity field models, etc. We have shown that appropriate modeling of gravitational and non-gravitational forces is essential for orbit determination of geodetic satellites. Concerning the gravitational forces, the coefficient C20 couses the largest perturbations on LAGEOS satellites. The sensitivity of LAGEOS orbits dramatically decreases for higher degree geopotential coefficients, whereas low orbiting geodetic satellites are very sensitive to both, low- and medium-degree coefficients of the Earth's gravity field. The differences between the current ocean tide models have bigger impact on LAGEOS orbits than the differences between the current Earth gravity field models. The mean differences between solutions using various ocean tide models (max. 1.32 mm of RMS) are larger than the mean differences between orbit solutions using various Earth gravity field models (max. 1.16 mm of RMS). Insufficient quality of the S2 tide constituent causes large variations of the empirical orbit parameters of SLR geodetic satellites, as well as variations for different type satellites, e.g., GRACE. The atmospheric drag causes a secular decay of semi-major axes of low orbiting geodetic satellites, i.e., Starlette, Stella, and AJISAI, whereas the Yarkovsky and the Yarkovsky- Schach effects cause a secular decay of LAGEOS-1 and LAGEOS-2. The decay of the semi-major axis of LAGEOS-1 is smaller than the decay reported in many earlier papers due to the satellite's de-spinning effect. The decay is fiaL1 = Note de contenu : 1 Introduction 1.1 Role of Satellite Laser Ranging in Science 1.2 Objectives and Methods 1.3 Structure 2 Satellite Geodesy 2.1 Reference Systems and Frames 2.2 Satellite Orbit Modeling 2.3 Parameter Estimation Using the Least-Squares Method 2.4 Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) 2.5 Satellite Laser Ranging 3 Gravitational Forces Acting on Geodetic Satellites 3.1 Solution Description 3.2 LAGEOS Sensitivity to Earth Gravity Field Models 3.3 LAGEOS Sensitivity to Ocean Tide Models 3.4 Discussion and Conclusions 4 Non-gravitational Forces Acting on Geodetic Satellites 4.1 Thermal effects 4.2 Earth Radiation Pressure 4.3 Atmospheric Drag 4.4 Discussion and Conclusions 5 Improving SLR Solutions 5.1 Impact of Loading Corrections on SLR Solutions 5.2 The Blue-Sky effect 5.3 Orbit Modeling of Low Orbiting Geodetic Satellites 5.4 Combined LAGEOS-LEO Solutions 5.5 Simultaneous Estimation of Gravity Field along with other Parameters 5.6 Time Variable Earth's Gravity Field From SLR 5.7 Discussion and Conclusions Numéro de notice : 14914 Affiliation des auteurs : non IGN Thématique : POSITIONNEMENT Nature : Rapport de recherche En ligne : https://www.sgc.ethz.ch/sgc-volumes/sgk-93.pdf Format de la ressource électronique : URL Permalink : https://documentation.ensg.eu/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=76821
