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 the following topics will be discussed and solved:

• transformations
• equations of motions
• calculation of satellite orbits under the consideration of perturbation theory
• Earth's gravity field
• space geodetic techniques
• satellite orbits (e.g., orbit transfer, specific satellite orbits)

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

Submission and assessment of the exercises via TUWEL.

The exercise sheets are distributed via TUWEL and the following link (PW is announced during the exercise).

Assessment via the exercises solved during the lecture, the presentations of the previous example and a short exam at the end of the semester.

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