This paper presents a synthesis of the CNES/GRGS routine activities regarding the analysis and calibration of the CHAMP accelerometer data. The impact of instrument operations and out of specification temperature variation on bias and scale factor estimation is demonstrated. Precise dynamic solutions of orbits and calibration parameters have been obtained from the processing of two years of data. The results presented here could be obtained thanks to the high performances of the accelerometer and GPS tracking.
