Orbit and Earth Gravity Field -- Earth Magnetic Field -- Neutral Atmosphere and Ionosphere.In the summer of 2000 the German geo-research satellite CHAMP was launched into orbit. Its innovative payload arrangement and the low initial orbit allow CHAMP to simultaneously collect and almost continuously analyse precise data relating to gravity and magnetic fields at low altitude. In addition, CHAMP…
