Abstract: | The orbit of the satellite 1967-104B has been analysed as it passed through 29:2 resonance with the Earth's gravitational field between January 1977 and September 1978. From the changes in inclination and eccentricity the following lumped 29th-order geopotential harmonic coefficients were obtained: , , , , , . These values have been compared with existing comprehensive geopotential models: the best agreement is with the model of Rapp (1981). |
