1. Basic Concepts● Non-conservative forces = non-gravitational forces
● For GNSS satellites, at an altitude of ~20,000 km,non-conservative forces are very important forprecise orbit determination and predictionmismodeling issues or no models are usedgravitational forces have a low contribution to the orbit error budget
● IGS (International GNSS Service) provides most precise orbits:~ 2.5 cm for GPS~ 5.0 cm for GLONASS
● Basically two types of models:empirical models, based on in-orbit behavioranalytical/physical models, based on pre-launch information

6. Conclusions & Outlook● Non-conservative forces play a key role for GNSS precise orbit determination
● Mismodeling effects of Earth radiation pressure and solar radiation pressure:Orbit differences at the few cm levelSystematic effects on orbitsPotential to solve problems on SLR, station coordinates and geocenter
● Attitude of satellite is needed for non-conservative force modelsDeviations from nominal attitude degrade accuracy of modelsSolar panel rotation angle, not previously identified for GNSS satellites
● Long time series to be computed with new solar radiation pressure model
● Importance of other effects?Shadowing between satellite surfacesThermal (heating/cooling) effects
