Scientific paper

Analysis of high precision 2-day mean orbital elements of several U.S. Navy navigation satellites is presented. The combined analytical-numerical method for the computation of the elements from the Defense Mapping Agency precision ephemerides is described. The precision of the semi-major axis and the inclination orbital elements are determined to be 2 cm and 0.016 arc sec, respectively. The 28th degree and 27th order terms of the geopotential field are determined with the mean elements.
