IMPROVEMENT OF THE GEOS-1 NORTH AMERICAN TRACKING NETWORK FROM MULTIPLE SHORT ARC GEODETIC ADJUSTMENTS.

Abstract

Combinations of 171 passes were employed in a short arc geodetic adjustment to improve the survey coordinates of 29 observing stations. The recovery of the station positions and their standard errors along with other geodetic parameters are presented. The results of the adjustment show a mean standard error of approximately 3.5 meters, and corrections to NAD survey coordinates basically consistent with the observation network with the origin at Hunter AFB.
