A low earth satellite enhances global geodynamical parameters determination with GPS in two ways. First, it improves the GPS orbits, which in turn improve the estimates of other parameters. Secondly, a low earth satellite completes an orbit cycle in far shorter time (90 to 120 minutes) than do GPS satellites (12 hours); it observes more GPS satellites than a ground receiver does in shorter time and increases the correlation between GPS orbit errors. This reduces the error in the determination of nonrotational coordinate parameters, i.e., geocentric offset of ground tracking sites. Covariance results with the global geodynamical parameters modeled as constants, and as random-walk parameters to closer reflect the actual variations, are compared. The effects of using different GPS data quality and different ground tracking network are studied. The case of using two earth satellites in orthogonal orbital planes is also investigated.
