RESEARCH IN GEODESY AND GRAVITY. COMPUTER PROGRAMS FOR ORBIT CORRECTION AND STATION LOCATION (REVISED)

Abstract

Two computer programs are described. The first corrects the orbital elements of a geodetic satellite. The second uses residuals generated by the first program to correct the geocentric coordinates of the observing sensors and of the origin of the datum by which a set of such sensors are connected.
