1.1 Introduction
Satellite p,eodesy is concernE~d With determining the shape of the earth from
satellite observations. There are two main approaches to satellite geodesy:
p,eometric and dynamic.
In the former, the satellite is merely an ob,~ective, like a geodetic point on
the earth's surface or a balloon in balloon ~eodesy. At least tWO ground sta-
tions from which t2:e satellite is visible at one time take simultaneous sight-
ings on it. From the measured directions to the sAtellite, the direction be-
tween the qround stations is determined. From several neusurements ta;cen ~
simultnneously from several stations, a trian~ulation network can be set up.
Its proportions may be taken frcm traditionRl nonsatellite measurements~
Satellite triangulation can span the oceans And thti~ can create a worldwid~
reference system.
The other method requires knowledge of the satellite's orbit, i.e. the speci-
fic p~ramaters which at a~iven r,ar,ent uniquely define the position and speed
~f the sntellite in space. Obse:vations are used to determine a sateilite's
orbit nnd changes in it, and to seek the causes of such clianges. The range
~f critical tasks in satellite geodesy is extensive and reaches beyond the _
confines of geodesy~ involving for example geophysics, global geology and the
theor;f of relativity.
The mnin ourpose of dynEUnic satellite geodesy is to determine the grav~tationc~l
constant, to make the determination more precise (as well as providing an

independent control method~ and to determine the ~eocenti�ic coordin~~tes ot'
ground observation stations in a single worldwide coordinate syatem. The con-
nection between observations and these results is the satellite orbit, We may
say that the more precisely the orbit is determined, the more precisely the
p,r~vit~,tionc~l field is determined and the greater the quality and quantity of
the parameters ugefl to describe it, But the accuracy with wh3ch the orbit is
determined depends on knowledge of orbital changea,,and the increasing re-
quii�ements for accuracy are greatly complicating the task.
In p~rt, ttie orbit too is an ob~ective, or is used in predicting the futui~e
motion oi' the satellite (calculation of an ephemeris), wh3ch will be tracked
for a wide variety of purposes and used in satellite maneuvers snd linkups
of space vehicles. Tracking of satellites, determination of orbits and their
chan~es, and determination !ff the gravitational constant and station coor-
dinates may be treated as an iterative cycle.
The "primary aims" mentioned above are closely connected with determination
01' fluctuations in the earth's fields and variatians in rotation; here the
methods of satellite Reodesy are gradually replacing astronomical'methods.
'"he main stages in the dynamic method of satellite geoclesy can be classified
as follows:
measurements and their reduction;
determination of satellite orbits;
calculc~tion of the gravitational constant and other unknowns. We will discuss
these individual points briefly.
_ 1.2 Measurement
By "measurement" we mean observation of a satellite froM the earth's surface
or from snother satellite or observation of the earth's surface or the oceans
from a satellite, or specific measurements made on board the satellite and
transmitted to the ground~ The measurement results are primarily data which
~re used to determine the satellite's orbit. "Reduction" of the observations
is the procedure by which the raw measurements are filtered and corrected for
various perturbing factors using various methods, so as to bring them into
standard form for flirther use.
1.21 Mensurements From the Rsrth
In observing satellites from the earth, the folloWing types of ineasurement in
the o~~tic~l or radio parts of the spectrum are most important:
i~hoto.c,rnphy witY, special satellite cameras. The satellite photograph is used
to determine the d3rection to the satellite or certain topocentric coordinates
~f the satellit~, e.g. riR.ht ascension oc and declina.tion d. Reduction in
thi~ cnse entails transformation of the measured photographic coordinates of

the ~atellite observed a~rainst t,he str~rs into celestial coordinates a- ~,nd

used t~ determin~ only the direction to the satellite, i,e, the direction

Tracking with laser ranging instruments. The ti~;~e between th~ pmisaion of a
laser pulse and its retu2�n frotn the target is measured (the satell.:t~ must be
prnvided with a meta]. reflector), The topocentric distance to ttie eatellite
IPI , i.e, the magnitude of the vector P but not its direction, can be cal-
culateci from the transit time, The laser system must be calibrated by meas-
ui�ements with a ground-based tttrget, and the c~lculated distance mu~t be cor-
i�ected for scatterinq of the signal by the atmosphere, for the fact that the
distance is not mensured from the center of the satellite but from its re-

tr.~nce ~~an bc~ deter^ained by radar, but gec:erally with low accuracy. The
d~ppler measurements must be corrected for the influence of the ionosphere and

Rcic~io measurements can determine ~ and oossibly the mngnitude IPI. Rudio
measurements are less accurate than ce.mera and laser measurements, and for
a nwnber of reasons are unsuit~ed to dynumic satellite ~eodesy.
Interferometric measurements. 'Ibro ang~:lar values ~re measured with a method
~imilar to the photog:a.phic method, Reduction entails elimination of the
effect of signal scattering by the atmosphere, secondary reflections near the
~ntenna, diffraction and equipment errors.
Toduy, laser and doppler measurements are the most accurate~ Top performance
~ives errors in the tenths of ineters for the topocentric vector and in the
tens of ineters for the s~tellite's position in its orbit and for the geocentric
coordinates of ground stntions. The interferometric mei:hod which is currently

Th~ "1as~r scanning" pro,~ect, in which e~ satelli~e~borne laser radar (range
finder) scans the earth's surface at various an~les and records the laser
signals reflected from ground~based reflectors, 3s very much a new departure.
Instead of a number of expensive ground~�pased laaer ranging instruments, ~
single laser on the satellit~ does the measuring; with only "read:tng stations"
required on the earth.
Finally, by "onboaz~d measurements transmitted to es~rth" we mean gravitational .
Pradiometry and microaccelerometry. Most of these approache~ will be discuse~

_ 1.3 ~ntellite Orbits
1.3.1 Orbital Parbmeters
Now, to the notion of "satellite orbit". The motion of the satellite in a
~iven reference coordinatE system is described by equations of motion, which
are second-order differential equations. Their solution gives six constants:
the orbital parameters. These can be the~ rectangul~r geocentric coordinates
x, y and z and their first derivatives with respect to time, i.e~ the veloci-
ties x, jr and z, More informative, and extremely widely usca, are the so-
c~.lled "elliptical orbital paremeters" (Fig~ 2[not reproduced]), These are:
~the ma~or semiaxis a of the orbital pllipse; the eccentricity e oP the orbit;
the right ascension of the ascending node i.e. the angular dist�ance Jt of
the ascending node of the orbit from the vernal equinox; the argument of
the perigee w, i~e. the distance P of the perigee from the ascending node;
the inclination i of the orbit to the equator; and the time at which the
satellite reaches perigee, from which the right anomaly v in Fig. 2 can be
calculated.
1.3.2 Perturbation of the Orbit _
If the earth were a homo~ene~us sphere and there were no atmosphere, sun, moon
or planets, once a satellite was placed in a given orbit around the earth it
would remain there indefinitely. In fact, however, the orbit is sub,ject to
various perturoations, secular (long-term) and periodic (short- and long-
periodic). Tt~e causes (mechani3ms) of these perturbations can be classifs�d
as gravitAtional, nongravitational and apparent. The effect of these per�
turbations is to make the orbital parameters functions of ti~ce.
GravitntionQl perturbations of the orbit result primarily from the deviation
of the earth's shape from sphericity and the nonuniform distributfon of matter
wit}lin the earth. The most marked secular perturbation of the orbit is

tion of' the orbit, It is well known tr.at tt~e ~ttractivE forces of the sun and
moon produre tides in the oceRnS nn~l the l~nd, 4nd hence elastic deformationg
o� the earth; these ici turn produce other, secondary, lunisolar--t3da1--
perturbatians of the satellite orbit.
For r.lose-in satellites, the primt~ry perturb~,tion results from ntmospheric
drag, Atmospheric resist~nce has the sectit~r effect of decren:~in~ the ma,jor
seminxis and eccet~tricity of the orbit, ;,o ttu~,t the s~.telliL-e comes closer to
the enrth's sttrface; the process of orbital contraction accelerates until
the satellite unavoidably enters the denser la,yers of the ntmosphere.
.
Ttie nonPravitational forces include, in addition to atmospheric drag, the
pressiire of solar radiation, both direct and reflected from the e~,rth. Both
effects are bein~{ intensivel,y studied, Apparent forces result from the

shape, while non2ero individual zonal coefficients indicate an asymmetry in
the northern and southern hemispheres. The tesseral and sectorial harmonics
define the structure of the gravitational field as a functian of the geogrr~ph-

the least-squares ad,~ustment, i.e. the harmonic coefficients and co2�rections
to the geographic coordinates X, Y and Z of the observation stations.
Equation (9) shows that it is correct to determine the gravitational constants
and station co~rdinates simultanecusly. In practice this is not always pos-
sible owing to the considerable correlation between the tesseral harmonic
coefficients and the station coordinates. Accardingly, the ad,justment is
divided up; th~: satellite orbital parameters and a limited set of geopoten-
tial coefficients can be~ determined for approximate coordinates, after which
the coordinates of sele~ted stations are made more precise and the hr~rmonic
n n
coefficients again refined. These iteration cycles are repeated using ad-
ditional obs.:rvational data so as to refine all the unknowns and to expand
the ~et of harmonic coefficients and designated stations.
The upper llmit nmgX of the degree of the harmonic coefficients in equr.tion
(9) is determined experimentally with reference to the quantity and quality
of the initial de;,a. With presen~-day satellite measurements (cameras,
lasei�s, doppler apparatus), the set of harmonic coefficients can be deter-
minc.d only up to nmax - m= 10 or 12, or higher in some cases (with orbital -
resonance: see Part 2). The finer structure of the gravitational field

by combining satellite and gravitational methods, extends to approximately

2.3 Satellite Illtimetry -
The principle o2' this metrod is simple (see Part 1). A~i altimeter, i.e. u
verLic�.1)y-oriented radar or laser ranging instrument, is insta].led on board
the sut.ellite. Let us assume that measurements are being made over the ocean.
It~ ,tc~,f,1, i.~ ti re:~~i]t nf the effect of tiden, Wind, Waves und other minor
inf:itence~ on the geoid surface.~ l:ccordingly, the shape of the oceun pc~rt
of the ge~id can be determined f'rom altimetric measurement~ if the satellite
urbi! is knos+n (2, 11, 36, 38, 52j� i'he meusurement process consints of
sending ~~ignal to the surfrice and determfnfng the height of the satellite
t~bove Lhe measur�_:: location from the transiL Lime (Fig. 5[not reproduced~).
The ?~1Litude is cleurly insuft'icient Lo determine the shape of the geoid; it~
is nece~sary at the samc time to Lrack the orbiL, i.e. to determine the orbitul
p~r�r~rneters (using ground-tased laser ranging instruments or doppler unit~, for

the orbit was tr~cked by a network of doppler atations (constantly 20-40
~tatians worldwide), and wan determined with about a 3-meter radial error.
In additinn to Skylab measurements (52~, a number of au+hors (1~, 37� 38] h~ve
used a nwnber of GEOS 3 overflights with multiple measurements on the locutions
to create ocean geoids for aceas of Austrnlia and North Americu.
Yrepurations are being made Lo launch the oceanographic satellites S~ASAT-A
(May 1978) and S~ASAT-:3 (1980) with laser reflectors on board so as to deter-
mine Lhe ocean geoid with an accuracy of t10 em and to conduct oceanographic
reseF.rch. The orb~=t is to be determined 'by ground-based l~sers and doppler
instruments and by trecking from other satellites (see below).
2,4 Orbital Resonance
Orbital resonance of satellites has already been used successfLlly for seven
years as an independent control determination of selected harmonic ceeffici-
enta, and at the same time for determination of high-level and high-order
coeffici~nts whose values in comprehensive solutiens are unreliable or e~~en
incorrect. ~
[from preceding page~ The current conceptian of satellite altimetry is
about 1~~ yersrs old (32, 34~. The first attempta to reflect a satellite sig-
nc~l from the surface of the earth wer~ carried out with the Canadian iono-

2�51 Introduction
Part 1 provided n notion of orbitnl perturbation~, und We saW Lhat the cul-
~~ulnt,ion of harmonic coefficients and coordinates of points on the earth'~
::urfnce depends to n considerable extent on the accuracy of their detEarminu-
Lion. Gruvitational perturbutions are We11 1%noxn up to the rather smc~11 ef-
t'ect:: of high-order and higt~-degree Lerms (other tl~rsn resonanc~j, and the
rrror in the orbit from incor~plete knoal~dge of tt.ese is today on the order
nt' trns ot' me*ers for the geocentric posir,ion of the st~tellite. Non~ravita-
Lionrsl perturbations such es the effect the ataosphere and the pressure of
>olnr radiation have been l~ss Well modei~iter iter~tti~tt method aith provision for specifying the level of pre-
cisian; the c~~lculr~tion proceeded sect~r by sector along the length of the
tubes in each bundle. In view of the relatively small temperature difference,
the ~vergge temperature of e? given sector was used in calculating the thermo-
~~hys{cr?1 properties of the coolant and trgnsf~r surfac~ material in the trans-
fer r~uations. The temperature of the primary coolant at the outlet collector
of the steam generator Was determined from the temperatures on exiting from
the individual bundles of tubes. From the computation formulas used it is
clenr that at a constant operating pressure in the drum, the other operating
E~~rarr.eters of the secondary circuit do not influence the heat transfer
vr~1 u~~, sc~ th~.t it m1y be usrd in deterainin~ the characteristics of the
E~rimnry and secondary circuits during co~~utation of the characteristics of
the poaer station block as a s+hole (6, 7].

Another important quantity in calculating the operating characteriatics is the
c~ccurnry of determine.tion of generator drum pressure. The dependence of the
main operating chare.cteristics on this pregsure (pB) is ahown in Fip,. 3 for
the desig.n parameters. b.ven though t~ pressure pg = 4.609 t~"a is ptescribed i'or

reguluting organs, proceas changes lead to varigtions in this pressure $nd to
corresponding changes in the operating charact~ristics.
Civer~ the complexity of the steam separation process and the lack of suitgble
formulas for this type of ateem generator, ae developed an approximate method
