Abstract
Satellite tracking methods, geodetic procedures and results are described with the emphasis placed on the geophysical significance of the results. The discussion is limited mainly to the solid Earth. The use of the satellite techniques for the Moon and planets is also discussed, again with the emphasis placed on the geophysical consequences of these measurements.Keywords
