An error analysis program was used to determine the effect of atmospheric refraction correction on the orbit determination accuracy of the Symphonie satellite. It is found that the refraction correction has a unique effect on the determination of satellite length, irrespective of tracking strategy. The effect on other orbital elements depends on tracking strategy.
