Scientific paper

The determination of improved orbits for the Neptunian satellites Triton and Nereid is discussed. The primary results are the final set of model parameters which generate orbits that best fit both the earth-based satellite observations and data acquired by the Voyager spacecraft during the Neptune encounter. The accuracy of the improved orbits is assessed and they are compared with the orbits generated prior to the encounter. Mean elements are also provided as a geometrical representation for the orbits.
