Scientific paper

Analysis of the luni-solar tidal perturbations of the inclination of GEOS-1 and GEOS-2 has yielded the values 0.22 and 0.31 respectively for the apparent second degree Love number. For GEOS-1 a new purely numerical method involving osculating elements was employed. For GEOS-2 it was necessary to analyze the variations of the mean elements because of the very long period (450 days) of the dominant solar tidal perturbation. The disparate values indicate that the simple second degree zonal harmonic model of the tidal potential is accommodating other effects in addition to those caused by the solid earth tides. A recent paper by Lambeck et al. (1973) indicates that ocean tide effects have significant perturbations on satellite orbits and cannot be neglected.
