Inter Satellite LinksOrbit ComputationIt can be seen that a satellite in that orbit altitude is fairly good predicted if a gravity model of7 degree and order is used. Even for long term prediction (< 1 week) a 15 x 15 model issuffcient.The next two tables shows the orbit errors for the GEO. It is obvious that the GEO is affectedonly by the lower harmonics. For a short prediction period a spherical harmonic expansion upto degree and order 5 is sufficient. For longer prediction periods, a gravity model up to 9degree and order is sufficient.Radial [m] Along Track [m] Cross Track [m]7 x 7 0 0 05 x 5 0 0.03 0.012 x 2 6.23 36.41 0.76J2-Propagator (2 x 0) 71 187 0.8Kepler (0 x 0) 1.8 km 13.1 km 0.97JGM-2 (70 x 70) 0 0.01 0GEM-T3 (50 x 50) 0.7 4.6 0GRIM4-S4 (66 x 66) 0.5 3.4 0Deviated JGM-3 0 0 0Table 4-9 GEO 1 dayR.
