Near Real Time Precise Orbit Determination for Radio Occultation and Altimetry Missions

Y. Andres, P.L. Righetti, C. Marquardt

Abstract:	In this paper, the current and future activities in the field of the GPS based precise orbit determination (POD) of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites at the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) are described. Current activites support to a different level of involvement the EUMETSAT Polar System (EPS) mission and the Ocean Surface Topography Mission (OSTM). Future activities will support the next satellites of the EPS family, as well as the Sentinel-3 and Jason-3 missions.
