Ocean-tide parameters from the simultaneous long-period analysis of the orbits of Starlette and Stella

Ocean-tide parameters from the simultaneous long-period analysis of the orbits of Starlette and Stella

The orbits of two geodetic satellites, Starlette and Stella, have been analysed in order to determine ocean-tide parameters. The orbit of Starlette has been determined over a three-year period and Stella over a one-year period. Long-period analysis techniques have been used to determine the evol...

Long-period analysis techniques have been used to determine the evolutions of the orbital inclination, eccentricity and right ascension of the ascending node for each satellite due to ocean tides.
