Abstract
Using kilohertz data of the satellite laser ranging (SLR) station Graz only, the spin parameters of the Gravity Probe-B (GP-B) satellite are derived; these include the spin period over the course of the 1.5-year mission period, as well as spin direction and spin axis orientation. The results are compared to the actual data setsas determined by the GP-B mission itselfthus allowing independent confirmation of the kilohertz SLR derived results.
