The mode of satellite tracking adopted at the Goonhilly earth station is to steer the aerial primarily by means of predicted data computed from the satellite orbital parameters and to superimpose, during the passage of the satellite, corrections to remove any prediction errors or aberrations due the transmission path. Predictions have proved to be highly accurate for satellites having a high mass to projected area ratio orbiting at altitudes at which air drag is very small; hence the corrections are small and infrequent.
