Abstract. The paper proposes a method for measuring the gravitational acceleration of a low-orbit spacecraft based on the use of signals from global navigation satellite systems. An expe­rimental setup was developed and an experiment was carried out to measure the acceleration of navigation spacecraft of GPS, estimates of the measurement accuracy were given.

Keywords: free fall acceleration, gravimetry, data processing, satellite radio navigation systems.
