Modeling Earth radiation pressure Carlos Rodriguez-Solano and its impact on GPS orbits and ground tracking stations Carlos Rodriguez-Solano Urs Hugentobler Peter Steigenberger Tim Springer Bernese GPS Software NAPEOS Software

1 Motivation GPS – SLR orbit anomaly: 4 – 5 cm SLR residuals for GPS satellites (mean subtracted) in a Sun-fixed reference frame show a peculiar pattern: l Angle satellite – Earth – Sun: Urschl et al. (2008)

1 Motivation More recently … SLR range residuals based on reprocessed ESOC orbit series 1995.0 – 2009.0 SLR and GPS agree very well! Only a small bias (~1.8 cm) and eclipse season (attitude) effects remain

1 Motivation Orbit-related frequencies on geodetic time series  GPS draconitic year Station coordinates (> 200 IGS sites). Also computed by: Ray et al. (2009) 13.65 ± 0.02 days Penna et al. (2007): 13.66 days 9 years of tracking data: 2000.0 – 2009.0 Geocenter position. Also pointed out by: Hugentobler et al. (2006)

2 Earth Radiation Model Computation of Irradiance [W/m2] at satellite position, assuming: Earth scattering properties approximated as a Lambertian sphere emitted and reflected radiation  infrared and visible radiation Types of models: Analytical: Constant albedo, Earth as point source  only radial acceleration: Numerical: Constant albedo, finite Earth radius Latitude-dependent reflectivity and emissivity Latitude-, longitude- and time-dependent reflectivity and emissivity from NASA CERES project AE = πRE2, RE = 6378 km, ESUN = 1367 W/m2, h = satellite altitude, α = albedo (≈ 0.3)

2 Earth Radiation Model CERES (Clouds and Earth's Radiant Energy System) NASA EOS project Reflectivity  Emissivity  CERES data, monthly averages, July 2007 http://science.larc.nasa.gov/ceres/

2 Earth Radiation Model Min. Diff.: Max. -3.2% +3.7% -6.7% +10.8% E4: CERES data (August 2007) E3: Latitude dependency E2: Numerical, constant albedo E1: Analytical, constant albedo Min. Diff.: Max. -3.2% +3.7% -6.7% +10.8% -7.4% +14.0%

3 GPS Satellite Model Box-wing model Three main satellite surfaces: 1) +Z side, pointing always to the Earth 2) Front-side of solar panels, pointing always to the Sun 3) Back-side of solar panels Main dependency on angle ψ satellite – Earth – Sun

4 Acceleration on the Satellites Earth radiation and satellite models of increasing complexity for PRN06 and β0 = 20.2° Along track acceleration [m/s2] Radial acceleration [m/s2] Cross track acceleration [m/s2]

4 Acceleration on the Satellites Key factors can be already identified: - No large differences between Earth radiation models - Analytical box-wing model with block specific optical properties and with antenna thrust Most important factor  box-wing (solar panels change drastically w.r.t. the Earth over one revolution) Magnitude of acceleration compared to solar radiation pressure is just 1-2 % But if the change of acceleration (minimum to maximum) is compared  the effect is up to 20% of the solar radiation pressure Solar radiation pressure  solar panels are fixed, bus changes orientation Earth radiation pressure  bus is fixed, solar panels change orientation Comparable to Y-bias effect (1x10-9 m/s2)

5 Impact on the Orbits Implementation of a priori acceleration in the Bernese GPS Software Computation of GPS orbits as done by CODE for one year (2007) of tracking data Orbit differences = perturbed orbit (with albedo) – reference orbit (without albedo) PRN05 Simplest model Earth radiation: Analytical GPS satellite: Cannon-ball PRN06

5 Impact on the Orbits Implementation of apriori acceleration in the Bernese GPS Software Computation of GPS orbits as done by CODE for one year (2007) of tracking data Orbit differences = perturbed orbit (with albedo) – reference orbit (without albedo) PRN05 Most complex model Earth radiation: CERES data GPS satellite: Num. Box-Wing Block specific Antenna thrust PRN06

5 Impact on the Orbits Orbit differences = perturbed orbit (with albedo) – reference orbit (without albedo) Comparable with SLR – GPS residuals in a Sun-fixed reference frame (β0 and ∆u) Urschl et al. (2008)

5 Impact on the Orbits SLR validation: SLR measurements – GPS orbits SLR-GPS orbit anomaly  mean reduction of 16 mm - 1.1 cm  albedo (TUM, ESA) - 0.5 cm  antenna thrust (TUM) TUM: ESA:

6 Impact on the Ground Stations

6 Impact on the Ground Stations Change of spectra for the North coordinates, > 200 IGS sites and 9 years of tracking data Main reduction on the sixth peak Where the other peaks come from?  Solar radiation pressure? Why this pattern on the North stations residuals?

6 Impact on the Ground Stations …and Orbits Orbit residuals  (NORTH) as a function of latitude and DOY Mainly effect of cross-track component  orientation of solar panel Almost direct effect of the orbits (cross-track) on the ground stations positions Systematic “deformation” of the Earth

7 Impact on the LOD Change of Length of Day (LOD) due to Earth radiation pressure  around 10 µs Effect on other geodetic parameters importance of orbit modeling

8 Conclusions Earth radiation pressure has a non-negligible effect  on GPS orbits (1x10-9 m/s2) comparable to Y-bias  on ground stations (mainly North) at the submillimeter level Albedo causes a mean reduction of the orbit radius of about 1 cm The largest impact in periodic variations is caused by the solar panels  Use of a box-wing satellite model is a must Different Earth radiation models as well as satellite model details have a small impact on the orbits Albedo can partially explain the peculiar pattern observed in SLR residuals Recommendation for an adequate but simple modelling:  Earth radiation model with CERES data (or alternatively the analytical model for constant albedo)  Analytical box-wing model with block specific optical properties and with antenna thrust

1 Motivation Consistent bias of 4 – 5 cm  The GPS – SLR Orbit Anomaly. Ziebart et al. (2007)

1 Motivation Power Spectrum Estimation Using the FFT Use of Discrete FFT instead of Lomb-Scargle periodogram Why? Data has the same time spacing (1 day) but problem with data missing FFT still appropiate if data is missing and e.g. set to zero Lomb-Scargle periodogram robust if time spacing is not the same, e.g. in astronomical measurements As expected results are very similar using both methods  but Power Spectrum using FFT is much faster and simpler Press et al. (1992)
