Scientific paper

The purpose of the Geos 3/ATS 6 satellite-to-satellite tracking experiment was to develop, test, and evaluate methods of deriving orbit estimates from satellite-to-satellite tracking data. The results of the form of conventional orbit overlap tests, and a comparison of a Geos 3 orbit estimate obtained from satellite-to-satellite (SST) tracking data with an orbit estimate derived form C-band data. The method recommeded for estimating orbits from SST data is a Bayesian least squares procedure utilizing independent ranging to the relay satellite.
