Description

GEOS3STST is the satellite-to-satellite tracking data product which contains observations, obtained from the S-band transponders on GEOS 3 relayed by the ATS 6 spacecraft to various ground stations, used for geodetic studies. Data are available for the time period from 1975-04-13 to 1976-04-28 in sixteen files, written in ASCII text, where each measurement is recorded as two lines of text.\n\nThe principal investigator for the Satellite-to-Satellite Tracking experiment was Indalecio Y. Galicinao from NASA/GSFC.
