Abstract

The results from 14 satellite orbit analyses, two of which are new objects, are used to determine individual tesseral harmonic coefficients of 30th-order and even degree. Six C, S pairs are evaluated by solving the equations using a modified least-squares technique. The results are compared with comprehensive geopotential models. The recent models GRIM4-C1, GEM-T3 and JGM-2 emerge well from such tests and are generally closest to the resonance values. A tentative solution is found for four pairs of harmonic coefficients of 30th-order and odd degree.
