Mathematics of Geodetic SECOR Data Processing

Abstract

Cubic Corporation developed the mathematics and methods for processing Geodetic SECOR USA-2 satellite tracking data obtained during the equipment test-service test (ET/ST). The ET/ST commenced with the USA-2 satellite launch in January 1964, and continued through May 1964. This report contains the mathematics, and a general discussion of the methods employed and results obtained in processing Geodetic SECOR USA-2 satellite tracking data. The report is prepared in compliance with the requirements of Department of the Army Contract DA-49-018-ENG-2390, Modification 24, Addition II to Exhibit A, paragraph 1d.
