The GPS based precision orbit determination experiment on TOPEX
Abstract
The objectives of the GPS-based precision orbit determination (POD) experiment on TOPEX are discussed. Problems facing this experiment include the careful design of all network receivers to control uncalibrated systematic group-delay biases and delay variations between channels, and the careful design of both the GPS-antenna-TOPEX satellite interface and the ground antennas to mimimize multipath. Questions of reference frames, geoid recovery, and the application of innovative orbit determination strategies must also be addressed.
