TRACKING STATION COORDINATES AND NON-ZONAL HARMONICS DERIVED FROM TWO SATELLITES.

Abstract

Using data from the satellites 1961 omicron 1 and 1961 alpha eta 1, the authors deduced values for the non-zonal harmonics having indices (2,2), (4,1), (4,2), and (4,3). Deducing these harmonics required the simultaneous revision of the coordinates of six tracking stations. (Author)
