After successful completion of the course, students are able to solve examples related to the field of Satellite Geodesy on their own. They also learn how to reasses, check, and present their solutions.

Examples concerning equations of motions, pertubation theory, orbit types (GEO, MEO, LEO, ...), signal propagation, parameter estimation in satellite geodesy and technique specific error sources will be discussed and solved.

The examples will be briefly discussed and then solved in groups of two. At the beginning of every exercise, the solutions of the previous example will be presented.

Please bring a notebook with Matlab (or the like)!

Assessment via the exercises solved during the lecture, the submission of a short program, the presentation of the previous example (only once) and a short oral exam at the end of the semester.

Introductory slides as well as the exercise sheets and suplementary material are provided via TISS.
