Scientific paper

Seventeen sets of orbital elements have been determined for the satellite 1971-58B for epochs between June and November 1972 when the orbit was close to 15th-order resonance. Exact resonance occurred on September 20. The most accurate inclination obtained had an sd of 0.00011 deg or 0.4 sec of arc. For eccentricity, the best sd was 8 x 10 to the minus 6 power, equivalent to about 55 m in perigee or apogee distance. The variation in inclination given by these and U.S. Navy elements has been analyzed, after the removal of perturbations, to give values of the lumped harmonic coefficients of the geopotential.
