Determination of Physical Height Differences from Time Transfer via the ACES Mission -- A Simulation Study

Klarissa Emma Lachmann, Jürgen Müller, Peter Vollmair +1

The determination of physical height differences using highly stable atomic clocks has emerged as a novel approach in relativistic geodesy, exploiting the gravitational redshift as…

GENESIS: Co-location of Geodetic Techniques in Space

Pacôme Delva, Zuheir Altamimi, Alejandro Blazquez +39

Improving and homogenizing time and space reference systems on Earth and, more directly, realizing the Terrestrial Reference Frame (TRF) with an accuracy of 1mm and a long-term sta…

Impact of non-tidal station loading in LLR

Vishwa Vijay Singh, Liliane Biskupek, Jürgen Müller +1

Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) measures the distance between observatories on Earth and retro-reflectors on Moon since 1970. In this paper, we study the effect of non-tidal station load…

Extending Science from Lunar Laser Ranging

Vishnu Viswanathan, Erwan Mazarico, Stephen Merkowitz +18

The Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) experiment has accumulated 50 years of range data of improving accuracy from ground stations to the laser retroreflector arrays (LRAs) on the lunar su…

The Relativistic Geoid: Gravity Potential and Relativistic Effects

Dennis Philipp, Eva Hackmann, Claus Lämmerzahl +1

The Earth's geoid is one of the most essential and fundamental concepts to provide a gravity field-related height reference in geodesy and associated sciences. To keep up with the…

Concept study and preliminary design of a cold atom interferometer for space gravity gradiometry

A. Trimeche, B. Battelier, D. Becker +14

We study a space-based gravity gradiometer based on cold atom interferometry and its potential for the Earth's gravitational field mapping. The instrument architecture has been pro…

High Performance Clocks and Gravity Field Determination

J. Müller, D. Dirkx, S. M. Kopeikin +4

Time measured by an ideal clock crucially depends on the gravitational potential and velocity of the clock according to general relativity. Technological advances in manufacturing…

Lunar Laser Ranging Contributions to Relativity and Geodesy

Juergen Mueller, James G. Williams, Slava G. Turyshev

Lunar laser ranging (LLR) is used to conduct high-precision measurements of ranges between an observatory on Earth and a laser retro-reflector on the lunar surface. Over the years,…
