Determination of Global Geodetic Parameters Using Satellite Laser Ranging Measurements to Sentinel-3 Satellites
TLDR
It is found that SLR observations to active Sentinelsatellites are well suited for the determination of global geodetic parameters, such as Earth rotation parameters and geocenter motion, which even further increases the potential applications of Sentinelmissions for deriving geophysical parameters.
Precise Orbit Determination for Climate Applications of GNSS Radio Occultation including Uncertainty Estimation
TLDR
A novel setup for precise orbit determination (POD) within the rOPS, which routinely and in parallel performs the LEO POD with the two independent software packages Bernese GNSS software and NAPEOS, employing two different GNSS orbit data products.

Real-Time Kinematic Precise Orbit Determination for LEO Satellites Using Zero-Differenced Ambiguity Resolution
TLDR
The ambiguity fixing results indicate that, for both Sentinel-3A and Swarm-A, over 90% ZD ambiguities could be properly fixed with the time to first fix (TTFF) around 25–30 min, and the differences with post-processed reduced dynamic orbits and satellite laser ranging (SLR) residuals are investigated.
