Abstract Studies performed at ESOC in preparation for the ERS-1 mission are outlined. An analysis has been made of the accuracy to be expected for determination and prediction of the ERS-1 orbit to support the operational requirements, assuming S-band tracking from the Kiruna station. Analysis of SEASAT tracking data is currently underway. The paper attempts some comparisons of the SEASAT orbit determinations with the results of ERS-1 covariance analyses. SEASAT altimetry geophysical data records have been processed and the technique of cross-over analysis applied to reduce the orbit error and generate plots of mean sea surface.
