Precise Orbit Determination: a Tool of Space Geodesy that enables Earth and Planetary Science
Session ID#: 80249
Session Description:
Precise orbit determination (POD) is a discipline of Space Geodesy that enables the determination of planetary geophysical parameters. POD enables satellite altimetry mapping (for the Earth this includes the oceans, the cryosphere, and the land surface), the determination of the gravity fields, the estimation of relativity parameters and the elucidation of physical forces important for satellite or asteroid orbit evolution such as the Yarkovsky effect. POD is an essential prerequisite of the analysis of SLR, GNSS and DORIS data that contributes to the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF). The most demanding applications require determination of satellite orbits at the cm or sub-cm level such as for altimetry, gravity, SAR, and GNSS.
This session solicits papers that aim to clarify the technical challenges of orbit determination and their impact on science and geophysical observations and also to quantify the nature of the impact of dynamics errors on these applications.
