Decimeter tracking of low earth orbiters can be achieved with a variety of differential GPS techniques. A precisely known global network of GPS ground receivers and a receiver aboard the user satellite are needed, and all techniques must simultaneously estimate the user and GPS satellite orbits. Three basic strategies include a purely geometric, a fully dynamic, and a hybrid strategy, the last of which combines dynamic GPS solutions with a geometric user solution. Two powerful extensions of the hybrid strategy show the most promise. The first uses a quasi-optimal synthesis of dynamics and geometry in the user solution, while the second uses a novel gravity adjustment method to exploit data from repeat ground tracks in a computationally efficient way. The best of these techniques promise to deliver sub-decimeter accuracy down to the lowest possible orbits.
