Organization of the potential of the earth new methods Application to the Poseidon project
Abstract
A method is developed which allows a very precise determination of the orbits of satellites with a repetitive track having a good system of ground coverage. The method is based on the analysis of the 'residuals' existing between the orbits calculated from two potential models.
