One of the key instruments aboard the CHAMP geoscientific small satellite is the three-axes STAR accelerometer, which shall measure the resultant acceleration of the spacecraft due to non-gravitational forces. Then, the purely gravitational signal in CHAMP’s orbit, measured with GPS satellite-to-satellite tracking, can be extracted for use in Earth ...
