Abstract
In the near future a big step has again to be expected in satellite geodesy. Extremely precise measuring systems (accelerometer, low-low SST (relative accuracy 10-11), gradiometer) in satellites orbiting as low as possible will allow not only the determination of the global gravity field in form of harmonic coefficients up to a limit somewhere below n = m = 180, but even the tracking of the extremely small signals in the gravity field due to mass redistributions in atmosphere, oceans and solid Earth down to the inner core.
