National Geodetic Satellite Program, Part II: University of California, Los AngelesSatellite orbit analyses are presented which were undertaken for: (1) reasons of insight and economy; (2) obtaining geophysically interesting tesseral harmonics; (3) comparing effects of tracking station location error drag, radiation pressure, and luni-solar attraction to tesseral harmonic effects; and (4) combination of satellite and terrestrial data. The analyses were divided into the following phases: (1) MINITRACK interferometry; early Baker-Nunn camera directions; (2) late Baker-Nunn camera directions; and (3) combined Baker-Nunn camera and TRANET Doppler data.
