Abstract

The geodesy experiment on STEP aims at the precise and detailed determination of the spatial variations of the Earth's gravitational field by measuring the cross-track gradient along the orbit. If the envisaged gradiometer precision of 10-4 E Hz-1/2 can be reached and all other potential error sources, such as alignment, pointing and time-varying eigengravitation can be kept below this limit, a spatial resolution of about 100 km half-wavelength will be attained with a cumulative geoid error of below 2 cm (except in the polar areas).
