The satellite 1967-11G, which had an orbital inclination of 40 deg, passed through the 14th-order resonance with the earth's gravitational field in 1974. The changes in its orbital inclination at resonance have been analyzed to obtain values for four lumped 14th-order harmonics in the geopotential, with accuracies equivalent to about 5 cm in geoid height. Analysis of the eccentricity was also attempted, but did not yield useful results. As no previous satellite analyzed at 14th-order resonance has had an inclination near 40 deg, the results have proved to be valuable in determining individual 14th-order harmonics in the geopotential.
