Abstract
A method has been developed for precision measurement of the gravitational frequency shift of communication radio signals between a spacecraft and a ground tracking station, based on the maximum likelihood principle, using the Rao-Cramer limit estimates for the kinematic parameters associated with orbital motion. Numerical illustrations of the efficiency of the method are presented using the example of data obtained in experiments with the Spektr-R satellite as part of the VLBI system in the Radioastron mission. A compensatory “on-line” technique for suppressing Doppler and atmospheric noise has been implemented due to the presence of two modes of communication in gravity sessions: unidirectional (1w) and looped (2w). Recipes for reducing the magnitude of systematic errors are discussed.
期刊介绍：
Gravitation and Cosmology is a peer-reviewed periodical, dealing with the full range of topics of gravitational physics and relativistic cosmology and published under the auspices of the Russian Gravitation Society and Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia. The journal publishes research papers, review articles and brief communications on the following fields: theoretical (classical and quantum) gravitation; relativistic astrophysics and cosmology, exact solutions and modern mathematical methods in gravitation and cosmology, including Lie groups, geometry and topology; unification theories including gravitation; fundamental physical constants and their possible variations; fundamental gravity experiments on Earth and in space; related topics. It also publishes selected old papers which have not lost their topicality but were previously published only in Russian and were not available to the worldwide research community
