| Abstract: | Orbit determination results are obtained for the Ocean Topography Experiment (TOPEX)/Poseidon spacecraft by the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) Flight Dynamics Division (FDD) using a batch-least-squares estimator available in the Goddard Trajector Determination System (GTDS) to process Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) System (TDRSS) measurements. The GTDS orbit solutions are compared with the definitive Precision Orbit Determination (POD) orbit solutions. The root-mean-square (RMS) solution difference in the radial component is 28 centimeters. |
