Ranging of a geostationary satellite and nongeodesic motion of the Earth's center of mass

Yu. V. Chugreev


Abstract: The post-Newtonian corrections to the distance between the Earth's center of mass and a satellite in a geostationary orbit are considered. Ranging of a drag free satellite will show whether the Earth's center of mass moves along a geodesic in the total gravitational field of extended bodies (the Sun and Earth).
