Simulation of earth gravity field using satellite constellation with variable inclination configuration

Based on a satellite constellation composed of two GRACE-type satellite formations with different inclinations (near polar orbit + low inclination) and the theory of repeat orbit cycle, we discuss the methods for selecting medium-low inclinations for global and local gravity fields. The effects of t...
