To deepen knowledge about the satellite geodesy techniques (GNSS, satellite Laser Ranging, Altimetry,...). The various satellite orbit types are introduces as well as methods for the calculation of precise ephemerides includung pertubation theory and parameter estimation
Equations of motions, pertubation theory, orbit types (GEO,MEO,LEO, ...); signal propagation, parameter estimation in satellite geodesy, texchnique specific error sources;
