| Description | Tracking data from a significant number of strongly resonant satellites have not yet been incorporated into recent comprehensive geopotential solutions. This data furnishes excellent comparative and absolute tests of these solutions for resonant coefficients of order (m) 2, 3, 4, 9 and 14. Tracking arcs of from 1 month to 6 years are examined on seven satellites of 1 rev/day, three of 2 revs/day, and one each of 9 and 14 revs/day. Current values for these fully normalized resonant coefficients as judged by this independent and sensitive data, range in accuracy from 2 x 10 to the minus 8th power to 5 x 10 to the minus 8th power. This represents an increase in accuracy by a factor from 3 to 5 over solutions current in the mid 1960's. |
