Baseline determination for the European Space Agency Swarm magnetic field mission is investigated. Swarm consists of three identical satellites -A, -B and -C. The Swarm-A and -C form a pendulum formation whose baseline length varies between about 30 and 180 km. Swarm-B flies in a higher orbit, causing its orbital plane to slowly rotate with...

The Swarm satellites are equipped with state-of-the-art Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, which are used for the precise geolocation of the magnetic and electric field instruments, as well as for the determination of the Earth's gravity field, the total electron content and low-frequency thermospheric neutral densities. The onboard...
