  skos:definition """The mission of GEOS 3 (Geodynamics Experimental Ocean Satellite) was to provide
the stepping stone between the National Geodetic Satellite Program (NGSP) and
the Earth and Ocean Physics Application Program.  It provided data to refine
the geodetic and geophysical results of the NGSP and served as a test for new
systems.  A major achievment was the flight of a radar altimeter.  Further
mission objectives: intercomparison of tracking systems, investigation of
solid-earth dynamic phenomena through precision laser tracking, refinement of
orbit determination techniques, determination of interdatum ties and gravity
models, and support of the calibration and position determination of NASA
Spaceflight Tracking and Data Network (STDN) S-band tracking stations.   For
more details, see special reports on the GEOS 3 in J. Geophys. Res., v. 84, n.
B8, 1979.
