Perkembangan Geodesi Satelit 1958-1980

Image
Seeber juga turut merumuskan sejarah perkembangan geodesi satelit sepanjang period awal penciptaan satelit iaitu dari 1958 sehingga period 1980-an. 1958 to around 1970. Development of basic methods for satellite observations, and for the computation and analysis of satellite orbits. This phase is characterized by the optical-photographic determination of directions with cameras.  The main results were the determination of the leading harmonic coefficients of the geopotential, and the publication of the first Earth models, for instance the Standard Earth models of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO SE I to SAO SE III), and the Goddard Earth Models (GEM) of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The only purely geometrical and worldwide satellite network was established by observations with BC4 cameras of the satellite PAGEOS. 1970 to around 1980. Phase of the scientific projects. New observation techniques were developed and refined, in particular laser ranging to satelli...

Pencapai Geodesi Era Awal Satelit

Theory of the Motion of Artificial Satellite - Dirk Brouwer (1902-1966)

Image
Dalam membincangkan tentang satelit dan pemakaiannya kepada geodesi satelit ada beberapa nama tokoh yang menyumbang kepada program pembangunan ini. Antara tokoh tersebut ialah Dirk Brouwer. Antara sumbangan besar ialah beliau mengemuka satu teori penting - Theory of the Motion of Artificial Satellites,  seperti mana di sebut oleh Seeber dalam m/surat 6 buku beliau, Satellite Geodesy. Brouwer mengenengahkan teori berkenaan melalui penerbitan beliau "Solution of the Problem of Artificial Satellite Theory Without Air Drag" Astronomical Journal, Vol. 64 pp. 378-397, 1959. Brouwer memperolehi phd dari Leiden Uni pada 1927. Beliau mula berkhidmat  di Yale Uni pada 1928 hinggalah tempoh bersara. Beliau menerbit buku yang sangat influential "Methods of Celestial Mechanics" pada 1961. Baca "Dirk Brouwer - Biographical memoir".

Geodesi, Lunar Method dan Cosmic Geodesy

Image
Sebelum muncul geodesi satelit, geodesi pada period lampau bergantungan banyak kepada kaedah yang dipanggil lunar method. Kaedah Lunar membolehkan penyelesaian awal dalam menentukan saiz Bumi pada awal kurun ke-19. Penyelesaian tersebut didapatkan mengguna kaedah lunar serta berpandukan teori orbit. Selanjutnya, melalui inisiatif International Geophysical Year 1957/58, lahirlah pula pendekatan Cosmic Geodesy. Pendekatan Cosmic Geodesy dilaksana dengan munculnya teknologi cerapan menggunakan Dual Rate Moon Camera. The geometrical approach in satellite geodesy also has some forerunners in the lunar methods. These methods have undergone comprehensive developments since the beginning of the last century. In this context, the Moon is regarded as a geometric target, where the geocentric coordinates are known from orbital theory. The directions between the observer and the Moon are determined from relative measurements of nearby stars, or from occultation of stars by the Moon. Geocentric ...
