Abstract
SODAPOP (the name being an acronym derived from Satellite Orbit Determination and Analysis Package of Programs) is a computer software package which has been written and developed over seven years by research students at Nottingham University. It is a complete SLR analysis suite, capable of precise orbit integration and the processing of both raw full-rate data and pre-processed normal points. It has been used to investigate a number of geophysical applications of the SLR technique.
