We present results from orbit integrations for the globular clusters M 3 and M 92. Absolute proper motions recently measured from Tautenburg Schmidt plates and a three-component mass model for the Galaxy have been used to derive the galactic orbits of these clusters. Orbital parameters and the influence of observational uncertainties on the determination of the orbits are discussed.

AbstractDuring an observation campaign in winter 94/95 astrometric positions from Meteosat 4 and 5 were acquired at the Zimmerwald observatory using a CCD camera mounted in the prime focus of the 0.5 m Satellite Laser Ranging telescope. The measurements cover a time interval of four months, their precision is of the order of .The modeling of radiation pressure for the small, cylindrically shaped satellites is relatively easy and they are therefore excellent objects to probe the geopotential. The orbital parameters and the radiation pressure coefficients for the two satellites as well as the resonant coefficients C22, S22 of the geopotential were determined by a single least square adjustment procedure including all the Zimmerwald observations. The relative errors estimated for the terms C22 and S22 are of the order of 1 ÷ 3 · 10−4.

Orbital parameters for Ariel 4 and Prospero have been determined at the Royal Aircraft Establishment and made available for use with the respective telemetry analysis programs. Ariel 4 orbit determinations were based on N.A.S.A. Minitrack observations, and Prospero orbit determinations on U.S. Navy observations and a small number of visual observations. Both orbits are near polar (inclination 83° for Ariel 4 and 82° for Prospero) but not otherwise similar. The initial perigee and apogee heights were, respectively, 500 and 600 km for Ariel 4, as against 550 and 1600 km for Prospero. Hence Ariel 4 has experienced much more drag than Prospero and orbital parameters had to be determined at much closer intervals for the former than for the latter, 3 days as against 7 days. The Ariel 4 orbit is being analysed to study the effects of 15th-order tesseral harmonics in the Earth’s gravitational field, and the Prospero orbit has been used in a recent determination of odd zonal harmonics.
