The German CHAlleging Minisatellite Payload (CHAMP) was launched in July 2000. It carries a GPS reciever and a three-axes accelerometer. From GPS meassurements a precise orbit of the satellite in August 2001 has been determined by DEOS at TU Delft. With these orbits and pre-processed accelerometer data it has been possible to determine a global gravity field model to degree and order 90. The gravity field model has been determined using least squares collocation and by considering energy conservation. The satellite loses kinetic energy due to external forces. The tidal potential from the sun and the moon, energy dissipation and the explicit time variation of the gravitational potential in inertial space are taken into account.
