Abstract
The value Of the gravitational coefficient of the Earth (GM) is an important parameter ill the determination of the scale of the coordinate system realized by satellite observations. With improvement in satellite laser ranging and with the orbiting of satellites such as Lageos, which was designed to minimize the effects of non-gravitational forces. the ability to estimate GM has improved significantly. More recently the GM of the Earth has been determined by the University of Texas Center for Space Research (Ries,et al.,1989).
