GraceAntennaCenterCorrectionArcCovariance

This program computes covariance information for the non­-stationary noise of the KBR antenna offset correction (AOC) from the orientation covariance matrices provided in Level-1B products via variance propagation. By using the output outputfileSatelliteTrackingCovariance in PreprocessingSst, noise model distinguishes between the stationary noise of ranging observations and the non­stationary AOC noise.

The covariances are derived from the partial derivative of the AOC w.r.t. the roll/pitch/yaw rotations and star camera covariances inputfileScaCovariance1 and inputfileScaCovariance2.

The covariances for the range-rates and range-acceleration are computed by differentiating an interpolation polynomial of degree interpolationDegree.
