Scientific paper

The paper obtains a global representation of the geopotential in spherical harmonics with sufficient detail to determine both a satellite trajectory and the geocentric coordinates of all the tracking stations in a well-defined coordinate system to an accuracy of a few centimeters or better. Laser tracking data on nine satellites are combined with terrestrial gravimetry to obtain a spherical-harmonics representation of the geopotential complete through degree and order 24.
