Influence of the error of the geocentric gravitational constant on the accuracy of the calculation of satellite orbits
Abstract
Analytical expressions are derived which make possible an a priori evaluation of the influence of the accuracy of the geocentric gravitational constant on the accuracy of orbital position calculations. It is assumed that the measured quantities in the solution interval of the boundary value problem are Keplerian osculating elements.
