Stability of coordinates of the SLR stations on a basis of LAGEOS-1 and LAGEOS-2 ranging in 1999

摘要

Determination of the stations coordinates and the control of their stability is one of the most important task in the satellite geodesy and geodynamics. The paper presents results of positions determination for all SLR stations in 1999 calculated in the ITRF97 system on the basis of data provided by the LAGEOS-1 and LAGEOS-2 laser ranging. The calculations were performed with the usage of the GEODYN II program. Coordinates of the stations were determined from monthly arcs for 1999. Typical RMS of (O-C) values for the monthly orbital arcs was on a level of 1.8 cm. The final stability of the geocentric coordinates of SLR stations per one year for all component varies from 0.5 cm to 5 cm.
