In many applications the orbit determination error is still the main contributor to the error budget. This makes precise orbit determination a field of interest from many points of view. In the last few years in particular the aspect of operational and near-real time orbit determination has become an issue of increasing importance (IGS moving towards near-real time orbit delivery; support of atmosphere missions like CHAMP or COSMIC; on-board orbit processing on altmeter missions like Envisat and Jason). This session aims to give an overview of the current state of the art of precise, operational, and near-real time orbit determination of geodetic satellites. Within the scope of this topic we particularly encourage contributions dealing with: combination of various tracking data for orbit determination (SLR, DORIS, PRARE, GPS, altimetry); impact of gravity field improvement (also GRACE, GOCE) on orbit determination; impact of orbit improvement on positioning and navigation (altimetry, GPS); surface forces on geodetic satellites; operational, fast-delivery and on-board orbit determination (e.g., DORIS), precise orbit determination techniques for LEOs using GPS.
