ERS and Envisat Precise Orbit Determination
Introduction
Delft Institute for Earth-oriented Space Research (DEOS)
provides highly precise orbits for the European Remote Sensing Satellites ERS-1, ERS-2 and
Envisat, in support of altimetric and InSAR research. The
orbit files and the supporting software
can be downloaded freely through this site.
Precise
orbits for ERS-2 are available from launch until a few months ago,
and preliminary
orbits up to a few weeks ago. For the really quick needs there are the fast-delivery orbits.
For ERS-1 the precise orbits that are now available span all ERS-1 mission
phases until June 1996 when the altimeter was switched off. For the later part of the mission
we have some operational fast-delivery ERS-1 orbits.
