Summary
For the orbit determination of the CHAMP satellite three data sets are of major importance: GPS, satellite laser ranging and the accelerometer observations. The first two can be used independently for the orbit restitution, while the third one can only be used in combination with another data type(s). Different combinations of these data types (such as GPS only; SLR only; GPS plus accelerometer; GPS plus SLR, GPS plus SLR plus accelerometer; etc.) are tested for the POD. The aim is to investigate the usefulness and contribution of each data type and to study the advantages and weakness of various data combination procedures.
