Scientific paper

A program to develop the capability of supporting ESA near-Earth missions that have stringent requirements on orbit accuracy is introduced. Activity is centered around a software system for orbit determination and covariance analysis which contains state-of-the-art models for a wide range of orbital perturbations and measurement types, and permits estimation and error analysis of geophysical and geodetic parameters in addition to the orbital states of the satellites. The implications for operational support of near-Earth ESA missions are discussed. Applications involving analysis of future mission requirements and processing of laser ranging and altimetry data are described.
