Satellite Geodesy

Traditional Astronomical Geodesy , which includes astronomical positioning, is ''not'' commonly considered a part of satellite geodesy. Also Surveying by GPS has become so commonplace that it is less and less considered part of satellite geodesy.

SATELLITE GEODETIC MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES

Geodetic use of global positioning satellite systems ( GPS , GLONASS , Galileo )

Laser ranging to satellites ( SLR )

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) interferometry from orbit

Satellite radar altimetry (mostly over oceans); Seasat , Geosat , TOPEX/Poseidon , ERS-1 , ERS-2 , Jason-1 , Envisat

Satellite laser altimetry (over land); ICESat

Satellite orbital tracking for determining the Earth's gravitational field; e.g., CHAMP

Satellite gradiometry (measuring the gravity gradient from orbit); GOCE

Satellite-to-satellite tracking; GRACE .
