The geocentric (terrestrial) coordinates of the 12 Baker-Nunn stations are derived from an analysis of 46,535 observations of 13 different satellites, and the absolute deflection of the vertical for 7 datums is determined. Based on those deflections of the vertical and through geoidal fit, the value of a=6.378169 Mm for the semimajor axis of the earth's ellipsoid is derived. (EN)
