  15. Conclusions - In a Ka configuration, the gravity field is correctly recovered if residual DeltaVs of 0.15mm/s are considered. On the other hand, if the residual DeltaVs of 1mm/s are considered, it is necessary to include the impulsive burns in the solve-for parameters, but estimation errors larger than 3 sigma occur for degree higher than 18. Impulsive maneuvers of 1mm/s, not included in the solve-for parameter, jeopardize the recovering of the gravity field. - If an additional X band ground station is available, the gravity field can be correctly estimated also if residual DeltaVs of 1mm/s are considered. - The current Ka configuration with residual DeltaVs of 1mm/s (case A) shows error of few centimeters in the geoid radius (considering a gravity field up to degree 10) and will allow, at the end of the mission, to reconstruct the trajectory with accuracies compliant with altimeter requirements. - The preliminary analysis of the accelerometer noise provide information about a possible worsening of the estimation of the gravity field and make necessary an in-depth study of the impact of accelerometer noise and residual DeltaVs.
