Precise orbit determination based on COST-G time-variable gravity fields
The Combination Service for Time-variable Gravity fields (COST-G) provides monthly gravity fields, combined from the individual solutions of the COST-G analysis centers and additional partner analysis centers derived from GRACE/GRACE-FO inter-satellite GPS and K-band ranging data.

The Combination Service for Time-variable Gravity fields (COST-G) provides monthly gravity fields, combined from the individual solutions of the COST-G analysis centers and additional partner analysis centers derived from GRACE/GRACE-FO inter-satellite GPS and K-band ranging data. The Precise Orbit Determination (POD) of Earth observation satellites in Low Earth Orbits (LEO) relies on accurate and up-to-date information on the Earthâ?Ts gravity field and its time-variations.
