GRGS numerical simulations for a GRASP-like mission

Résumé

In 2009, the geoscience community has fixed an objective of 1 mm accuracy and 0.1 mm/yr stability for the terrestrial reference frame (TRF) realization (Global Geodetic Observing System, GGOS, Meeting the Requirements of a Global Society on a Changing Planet in 2020, Plag and Pearlman in Global geodetic observing system: meeting the requirements of a global society on a changing planet in 2020. Springer, Berlin, 2009. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-02687-4). This accuracy and stability are needed for diversified studies like climate change, tectonic sciences and more generally any geoscience requiring the use of an accurate and precise TRF. Unfortunately, they are still not reached by the last International Terrestrial Reference Frame. To reach this goal, the use of "multi-technique" satellites as "space-ties" has been studied since 2011 and a few proposals have been made in response to different space agency calls: the Geodetic Reference Antenna in Space (GRASP) mission—NASA Earth Venture 2 call, Eratosthenes-GRASP (E-GRASP)—ESA Earth Explorer 9 (EE9) call, MOBILE—ESA EE10 call, MARVEL—CNES Séminaire de Prospective Scientifique 2019). In this article, we present the numerical simulations carried out by the French Groupe de Recherche de Géodésie Spatiale (GRGS) for the E-GRASP proposal in response to the ESA EE-9 call and their improvements carried out afterwards. These simulations aim to answer three different questions: Is it possible to reach the GGOS requirements for the TRF with the measurements of a GRASP-like satellite like E-GRASP alone?
