Techniques for evaluating long periodic orbit variationsA method of analyzing long periodic variations of orbits from osculating elements is presented. A precision of 0.03 arc sec in inclination has been achieved with this technique for the GEOS 1 and 2 orbits. A combined numerical-analytical technique for computing mean elements is also described. This method has given mean elements with a precision of 0.1 arc sec in inclination and 10 cm in semimajor axis for the GEOS satellites. Application of these techniques to the determination of earth tidal parameters is also discussed.
