The problem of simulating the gravitational potential of a planet by the potential of a system of ordinary and conjugate point masses is considered. This ill-posed problem is reduced to a problem of nonlinear programming with Tikhonov regularization. A stabilizing factor is chosen according to the smoothness of the gravitational field, whose model can be used to describe the motion of geodetic and geodynamic satellites. As an example, sets of point masses are obtained for the reconstruction of the field of the GEM-12 harmonics and for the description of geoid height on the basis of GEOS-3 altimeter data.
