Abstract
Using current procedures, polar motion and Earth’s rotation can be computed from 7 days of observations from four stations to four Global Positioning System Satellites to an accuracy of 1.5 m and .3 msec/day, respectively. Improved computational techniques or instrument accuracy and/or measurements from additional satellites or stations would give significant improvements in accuracy.
