On fine orbit selection for particular geodetic and oceanographic missions involving passage through resonances
Abstract. The identification of mean semi-major axes (suitably defined) for satellite orbits to satisfy a variety of requirements for geodesy, geophysics and oceanography, in terms of repeat orbits (with orbital resonances), is investigated. Various options for the definition of semi-major axis, from the viewpoint of satellite dynamics, are described. Simple simulations of the expected resonant changes in inclination are presented, and tools for the analysis of orbit resonances to extract certain lumped harmonic coefficients of the geopotential (e.g. from the very precise CHAMP orbit) are resurrected. Finally, a preliminary example of the 46th-order resonance analysis possible for CHAMP, based on the mean orbital elements produced by GFZ (GeoForschungs Zentrum) for ephemeris prediction, is presented.
