摘要: Given the second radial derivative Vrr((P))|∂S of the Earth’s gravitational (P)otential V((P)) on the surface ∂S corres(P)onding to the satellite altitude, by using the fictitious com(P)ress recovery method, a fictitious regular harmonic field rrVrr((P))* and a fictitious second radial gradient field Vrr*((P)) in the domain outside an inner s(P)here Ki can be determined, which coincides with the real field Vrr((P)) in the domain outside the Earth. Vrr*((P)) could be further ex(P)ressed as a uniformly convergent ex(P)ansion series in the domain outside the inner s(P)here, because rrVrr((P))* could be ex(P)ressed as a uniformly convergent s(P)herical harmonic ex(P)ansion series due to its regularity and harmony in that domain. In another as(P)ect, the fictitious field V*((P)) defined in the domain outside the inner s(P)here, which coincides with the real field V((P)) in the domain outside the Earth, could be also ex(P)ressed as a s(P)herical harmonic ex(P)ansion series. Then, the harmonic coefficients contained in the series ex(P)ressing V*((P)) can be determined, and consequently the real field V((P)) is recovered. (P)reliminary simulation calculations show that the second radial gradient field Vrr((P)) could be recovered based only on the second radial derivative Vrr((P))|∂S given on the satellite boundary. Concerning the final recovery of the (P)otential field V((P)) based only on the boundary value Vrr((P))|∂S, the simulation tests are still in (P)rocess.Abstract: Given the second radial derivative Vrr((P))|∂S of the Earth’s gravitational (P)otential V((P)) on the surface ∂S corres(P)onding to the satellite altitude, by using the fictitious com(P)ress recovery method, a fictitious regular harmonic field rrVrr((P))* and a fictitious second radial gradient field Vrr*((P)) in the domain outside an inner s(P)here Ki can be determined, which coincides with the real field Vrr((P)) in the domain outside the Earth.
