Precession & Nutation• Precession caused by the gravitational
attraction of the Sun and Moon on the non-spherical Earth (period 26,000 yrs).
• Nutation: small "nodding" motion (largest period of 18.6 yrs, Moon).
• A spherical Earth with homogeneous density distribution would neither precess nor nutate.
• CU physics prof. John Wahr created the international theory for nutations as part of his PhD thesis!
• Nutation theory has since been improved - especially due to VLBI measurements.

Polar motion
• Axisymmetrical body, moments of inertial I and I’, and no forcing rotates about the axis of symmetry at a constant rate comparable to (I’-I)/I’
• Based on flattening factor, “free-nutation” of the Earth was predicted by Euler in 1755 to have period of 355 days.
• Actual Chandler period is ~433 days. Discrepancy is due to anelasticity of the Earth.
• Polar motion cannot be predicted; it must be measured.

These data are (mostly) available from the IGS

Lecture starting February 1, 2010
Talk about truncation/fprintf
(what happens if you don’t do all this stuff)

In ASEN 5090, orbits are a forward model calculation.
In ASEN 6519, orbits are a interpolation problem.
But what do the real GPS people do?

Solar Pressure
• Effect of sun on the satellite
• Need to know how much area is normal to sun-direction.
• How reflective are the surfaces
• Distance and luminosity of the sun

Design constraints
• Antenna boresight points at the geocenter. Why?
• Solar panels are oriented to point continually at the sun
• Y-axis is perpendicular to z and p.
• How well do we know attitude?
EPS = Earth-probe-sun

SRP model parameters
• Reflectivity - proportion of radiation incident on a surface that is reflected
• Specularity - how much of the reflection is “specular”
• Y-bias - force acting along the spacecraft BFS (body-fixed-system) and believed to derive from NCF effects.

Another view of the spacecraft

What about eclipsing GPS satellites?
• SRP goes to zero - but it takes a while for the spacecraft to cool down.
• Attitude control system loses its bearings.• Before 1994, it would yaw wildly. Yaw bias
now applied by DoD.• Satellites in eclipse season are more poorly
modelled than other satellites. Many analysis centers remove the data entirely.

We know that “precise” IGS orbits are precise
How do you test their accuracy? - Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) tracking. People have even talked about tracking GPS signals from VLBI systems.
