Abstract

The study and mapping of the Earth’s gravitational field is an important area of research. For this purpose, constellations of spacecraft are actively used. The key scientific equipment of such a constellation is the intersatellite ranging system (microwave and/or laser) and a precision accelerometer, which are used to measure the main target parameters. This paper discusses the fundamental principles of these measurements, as well as the potential for such a project to be implemented in Russia.
