The meeting will take place from 18 to 25 July, 2010, in Bremen, Germany. For more information, please visit ”http://www.cospar-assembly.org/”. The assembly will include sessions coordinated by the Panel on Satellite Dynamics (PSD) in cooperation with the COSPAR Sub-Commission B2 on International Coordination of Space Techniques for Geodesy and Geodynamics (CSTG). For more details, please click ”Scientific Program Overview”, then ”PSD1”. A description of the session topics is also included below. Please note that the deadline for submitting abstracts is February 19, 2010. For instructions, please click ”Abstract submission and Log-in”. Kind regards on behalf of the COSPAR/PSD organizing committee: Pieter Visser, DEOS, Delft Univ. of Techn., The Netherlands. Pascal Willis, IPGP, Paris, France. Othon Winter, FEG/UNESP, Brazil. Program abstract ---------------- The scope of the Panel on Satellite Dynamics is positioning of a wide range of objects on scales from giga- to nanometers. These objects include Earth orbiting satellites, such as geopotential missions (CHAMP, GRACE, GOCE, Swarm), altimetry missions (Jason-1/2, ICESAT, CryoSat-2) and navigation satellites (GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, including GIOVE-A and B, Beidou). In addition, planetary research is rapidly expanding leading to more and more (plans for) satellite missions (MGS, MRO, SELENE, GRAIL, Pluto Express). Moreover, formations of satellites are being realized and proposed for Earth observation (Tandem-X/TerraSar-X) and fundamental science (LISA, Darwin, XEUS) that pose very high demands on (relative) positioning and orbit and attitude maintenance systems (such as micro-propulsion). Satellite orbit determination requires the availability of tracking systems (SLR, DORIS, GNSS, VLBI, Deep Space Network), and in conjunction accurate solutions for ground station positions expressed in well established reference frames, detailed force and satellite models, such as gravity, drag and/or solar pressure, and high-precision time and frequency standards. For this event, a special focus will be on results obtained with the GOCE mission and developments in the field of (near) real-time orbit determination and altimetry. Contributions are solicited covering this broad area of positioning. The International Association of Geodesy (IAG), one of the associations of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG), is acknowledged for its kind sponsorship of this event. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris Ph : +33-(0)1-57-27-84-81 GSP - UFR STEP / Paris 7 - Bat Lamarck FAX: +33-(0)1-57-27-84-82 5, rue Thomas Mann Case 7011 Em : willis@ipgp.jussieu.fr Paris 75205 Cedex 13, France http://www.ipgp.jussieu.fr/~willis/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Carey Noll ******************************************************************************** |
