The growth of the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) is the result of a greater reliance on the systems to provide nearly global coverage for relaying data from environmental satellites and to reduce or eliminate the reliance on global networks of tracking ground stations. Tracking data collected by TDRSS is often used to compute orbital solutions for moperational mission requirements. Investigations are in progress that seek to assess the feasibility of extending the use of tracking data collected by TDRSS as a means for computing precise orbital solutions. Specifically, this investigation will use covariance analysis techniques to evaluate this extended capability as applied to the TOPEX/Poseidon mission. This study will complement other investigations which carry out similar assessments of TDRSS using actual tracking data. This paper presents some preliminary results for Cycle 5 of the TOPEX/Poseidon mission using simulated two-way range-rate measurements.
