Abstract
The idea presented here is to use the GPS receiver for the comparison of kinematic and dynamic orbits of an interplanetary mission during Earth flyby, e.g., BepiColombo, Juno. Purely geometrical orbits can be estimated to an accuracy of 1 cm RMS using GPS carrier-phase measurements, whereas dynamic orbits will be affected by any potential flyby anomaly effect on the spacecraft while it is in Earth flyby.
