Sentinel-1 Precise Orbit Calibration and Validation
In this paper, we propose a model-based procedure to calibrate and validate Sentinel-1 orbit products by the Multi-Squint (MS) phase. The technique allows to calibrate an interferometric pair geometry by refining the slave orbit with reference to the orbit of a master image. Accordingly, we state the geometric model of the InSAR phase as function of positioning errors of targets and slave track...
متن کاملEnvisat Precise Orbit Determination
The Navigation Office at ESOC has been closely involved in all aspects of the Precise Orbit Determination (POD) of Envisat throughout the mission lifetime. These activities started shortly after launch through membership of the Orbit Validation Team (OVT). During this time ESOC was involved in both calibration and validation of the DORIS doppler data, the SLR data and the different POD solution...
متن کاملImproved Ers and Envisat Precise Orbit Determination
For over a decade, the Delft precise ERS-1 and ERS-2 orbits have been used in many scientific investigations based on ERS altimeter and interferometric SAR data. This orbit computation is now continued for Envisat, with an unprecedented accuracy due to better tracking data and lower force model errors. Orbit errors due to inaccuracies in the Earth’s gravity model, which have been the main focus...
متن کاملValidation of GOCE gravity field models by means of orbit residuals and geoid comparisons
Three GOCE-based gravity field solutions have been computed by ESA’s high-level processing facility and were released to the user community. All models are accompanied by variance-covariance information resulting either from the least squares procedure or a Monte-Carlo approach. In order to obtain independent external quality parameters and to assess the current performance of these models, a s...
متن کاملPrecise Orbit Determination for Low Earth Orbit Satellites
The precise orbit determination problem is to accurately determine the position and velocity vectors of an orbiting satellite. In this paper we review the general contents of the orbit determination process, with particular emphasis on Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. The different orbit determination approaches and the different force models contained within are briefly discussed. The two mai...
