Abstract The GEODYN Computer program has been developed by the Geodynamics Branch at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) for accurate satellite orbit and tracking data analysis. The software is currently used for baseline solutions for the Crustal Dynamic Project (Smith et al. /1/), gravity field determination for the TOPEX/POSEIDON mission (Marsh et al. /2/), SEASAT and LAGEOS data analysis, Laser, Doppler and Altimetric data analysis, as well as prelaunch Mars Observer studies. A Bayesian least squares differential correction process is applied to the vehicle's trajectory, and a variety of force model, station, and measurement parameters can be simultaneously estimated.
