Book excerpt: The least squares adjustment for the station coordinates of the worldwide satellite triangulation net gives, in addition to the station positions, the positions of the satellites observed in a simultaneous event from two or more stations. Through successive events short arcs can be fitted and the coordinates of the center of mass of the earth can be determined. It is shown that the center of mass will be obtained with an accuracy consistent with the accuracy of the station positions, if well distributed Pageos arcs of about on quarter of a revolution are taken and if three events per arc are given.
