A combined analytical-numerical procedure for determining mean orbital elements is presented and applied to the orbits of GEOS 1 and GEOS 2. The precision of the mean semi-major axes of these orbits is a few tens of centimeters when optical flash data are used to determine 2 day orbital arcs. Four day Minitrack orbits give mean semi-major axes of a few meters precision. The mean orientation parameters (i, Ω) determined from the optical data are obtained to a precision of about 0″.1.
