In addition to communications experiments, the Syncom satellites contributed to determination of the Earth's gravitational field. The Syncom range and range-rate system was capable of measuring range at synchronous altitude to an accuracy of less than 50 meters. The high altitude minimized perturbations by local topology changes on the surface of the Earth. 3, record 2, English, - range%20and%20range%2Drate%20system

The radar, located in the ascent stage, tracks the CSM during the descent phase of the mission to supply tracking data for any required abort maneuver and during the ascent phase to supply data for rendezvous and docking. ... During the rendezvous phase, rendezvous radar performance is evaluated by comparing radar range and range rate tracking values with MSFN tracking values. 3, record 3, English, - range%20and%20range%20rate
