This year´s AGU Fall Meeting features a session (described below) on satellite orbit and attitude modelling/estimation - please consider submitting an abstract. The deadline for submissions is August 4th, 2011. Use the URL: http://sites.agu.org/fallmeeting/ and the session number (G17) to find further details. Satellite Orbits and Attitude: attacking the error budgets (session G17). Accurate satellite orbit and attitude determination underpin geodesy: errors in such parameters alias easily into data products (e.g. geocenter motion or sea level rise). New GNSS constellations are being launched and new position-critical LEO missions (Jason-2, GOCE, Cryosat-2) are on orbit. Our challenge is to determine orbits at the centimetre/sub-centimetre levelHowever, modelling of satellite surface forces is still problematic. Time series analysis of estimated tracking station coordinates indicates significant energy in residuals at draconitic and beta-prime (solar) related periods. We invite papers across the orbit and attitude domain, at all altitudes and inclinations: near earth, deep space and other planets. We hope to see you there.
