The technological problems associated with altimetry from a satellite are the subject of wide investigation in the United States. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that accurate altitudes measured from satellites will eventually be available, and it is prudent to ask now what are the interfaces between altitude measurements and satellite-orbit-determination practices. From one point of view, accurate altitude data may generate accuracy requirements that must be met by orbit-determination procedures. From another point of view, the altitudes themselves may be used as tracking data in orbit determination. If the altitude of a satellite above the ocean surface is obtained, this may be viewed as a measured relationship between a point on an equipotential surface of the geopotential and a satellite position determined by the equations of motion derived from the geopotential. These various interfaces can be explored in the context of the procedures used at SAO for orbit determination and geophysical research.
