Abstract
Using the six parameter representation of the range-rate observable, arguments are presented to show why differenced data may more effectively diminish the effects of unmodelable spacecraft accelerations than the conventional tracking data. For a Viking spacecraft experiencing unknown constant accelerations, the orbit determination solution using differenced data may be two orders of magnitude better than the solution obtained from conventional tracking data.
