A catalog of station coordinates for GEOS-C orbit determination

Marsh, J. G. / Douglas, B. C. / Walls, D. M.

Abstract Center-of-mass coordinates for 57 tracking sites participating in the GEOS-C mission are given in a unified system having a common origin and scale. The positions were obtained either directly from analyses of satellite observations or from survey ties to colocated sites with coordinates previously determined by various investigators from optical, laser of doppler data. The uncertainty of the positions in nearly all cases is 5 m in each coordinate. Data reductions show that station coordinates of this quality introduce a rapidly changing error into the altitude of a satellite unless global tracking constrains the orbit.
