Pole Position Studied with Artificial Earth Satellites∗
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 June 2016
Abstract
Long-arc orbit computation of highest accuracy can provide pole positions. Optical Baker-Nunn and laser range observations of several satellites are combined. The accuracy of the pole position is comparable to that of the mean satellite-tracking station coordinates (±5 m) when sufficient tracking data are available. Exploitation of the technique requires more accurate tracking data.
