Precision orbit computations for Starlette

Abstract

The Starlette satellite, launched in February 1975 by the French Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales, was designed to minimize the effects of nongravitational forces and to obtain the highest possible accuracy for laser range measurements. Analyses of the first four months of global laser tracking data confirmed the stability of the orbit and the precision to which the satellite's position is established.
