Abstract
Though Minitrack observations are only accurate to about 1', accurate orbits—typically eccentricity to 10 -5 —have been obtained for a number of satellites. The main sources of observational error, real or apparent, are thought to be: inadequate correction for ionospheric refraction; and inadequate representation of satellite perturbations due to the Earth’s tesseral harmonics and to atmospheric drag.
