Scientific paper

The French Starlette satellite, launched in 1975, had the primary geophysical objective of providing information regarding 'solid' earth and ocean tides. The present paper is concerned with an analysis of the 1980 Starlette laser-ranging data for tides, geodetic parameters, and orbital parameters. The obtained solution represents a simultaneous least squares solution based upon normal equations constructed from seventy 5-day orbital arcs. It is pointed out that this new method has produced far better tidal results than would be achievable on the basis of the previous long periodic mean orbit evolution approach described by Felsentreger et al. (1979). It was possible to recover reasonable tidal values for periods on the Starlette orbit ranging from 6 days to over 90 days.
