Satellite Gravimetry

Fusion of ranging, accelerometry, and attitude sensing in the multi-sensor system for laserinterferometric inter-satellite ranging (CRC 1128, B02)The quality of gravity field results obtained from GRACE and GRACE Follow-On inter-satellite ranging does not only depend on the ranging measurement accuracy. Equally important is the quality of the integration in the multi-sensor system consisting of inter-satellite ranging, GNSS orbit tracking, accelerometry, and attitude sensing, and the performance of this system as a whole. The system performance is influenced, e.g., by star camera attitude performance, by the characteristics of satellite pointing jitter coupling, by inaccurate knowledge and instabilities of phase centers and alignments, and by accelerometer signal disturbances.Led by: Prof. Jakob Flury, Dr. Gerhard HeinzelTeam:Year: 2014Funding: DFGDuration: 2014-2018
