Improved treatment of GPS force parameters in precise orbit determination applicationsData collected from the International Global Positioning System (GPS) Service (IGS) have been processed at JPL to determine presise orbits for the satellites of the GPS. We have tested a filtering technique to improve modeling of GPS solar radiation pressure force parameters. The new approach improves orbit quality for eclipsing satellites by a factor of two, with typical results in the 25 - 50 cm range.
