Theory and realization of GPS orbit integration

  • Published:
Geo-spatial Information Science

Abstract

The algorithm of using one-day-arc to integrate n-days-arc by orbit overlaying is discussed in detail. An example is given, which proves that the orbit integration method can improve the precision of the orbit efficiently, especially in the determination of a local area’s orbit.
