The ephemeris data, giving the position of the satellite every minute, are encoded with a 0.1 m resolution. Is it indicative of the actual accuracy of the knowledge of the satellite position?

On Spot 1, 2 and 3, the encoding of the ephemeris data posted in the Ancillary files of the SPOT Scene products does not reflect the actual accuracy of these data which is a few hundred metres (rms). However, with Spot 4, the use of data coming from the DORIS passenger allows to get an accuracy better than 1 m. Just note that this applies only to the position of the satellite on its orbit; one has to realise that the final location accuracy of the images on the ground depends also on the pointing accuracy of the spacecraft and its instruments (attitude of the spacecraft, mirror pointing angle, etc).

This lead to a final location accuracy between 300 and 500 metres (rms). More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
