Subject:[SLR-Mail] No.2622: Precise Orbit Determination for Geodesy and Earth Science | G2.3 | EGU 2020 | Reminder
Author:unknown
Content:Dear colleagues,

This is just a friendly reminder that the abstract submission deadline
for the upcoming EGU General Assembly is approaching quickly, i.e.,
Wednesday, January 15, 2020 at 13:00 CET. We are looking forward to your
contribution for the Session G2.3: Precise Orbit Determination for
Geodesy and Earth Science.

Session description:

Precise orbit determination is of central importance for many
applications of geodesy and earth science. The challenge is to determine
satellite orbits in an absolute sense at the centimeter or even
sub-centimeter level, and at the millimeter or even sub-millimeter level
in a relative sense. New constellations of GNSS satellites are currently
being completed and numerous position-critical missions (e.g. altimetry,
gravity, SAR and SLR missions) are currently in orbit. All together
outstanding data are available offering new opportunities to push orbit
determination to the limit and to explore new applications.

This session aims to make accessible the technical challenges of orbit
determination and modelling to the wider community and to quantify the
nature of the impact of dynamics errors on the various applications.
Contributions are solicited but not limited to the following areas: (1)
precise orbit determination and validation; (2) satellite surface force
modelling; (3) advances in modelling atmospheric density and in
atmospheric gravity; (4) advances in modelling earth radiation fluxes
and their interaction with space vehicles; (5) analysis of changes in
geodetic parameters/earth models resulting from improved force
modelling/orbit determination methods; (6) improvements in observable
modelling for all tracking systems, e.g. SLR, DORIS, GNSS and their
impact on orbit determination; (7) advances in combining the different
tracking systems for orbit determination; (8) the impact of improved
clock modelling methods/space clocks on precise orbit determination; (9)
advances in modelling satellite attitude.

Note that there will be peer-reviewed joint proceedings of the geodesy
sessions that will be published in the EGU open-access journal Advances
in Geosciences (see https://www.advances-in-geosciences.net/).

On behalf of the convenors of session G2.3,

Adrian Jggi

Co-conveners: Alexandre Couhert, Urs Hugentobler, Oliver Montenbruck,
