Download or read book Statistical Orbit Determination written by Bob Schutz and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-06-26 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Statistical Orbit Determination presents fundmentals of orbit determination--from weighted least squares approaches (Gauss) to today's high-speed computer algorithms that provide accuracy within a few centimeters. Numerous examples and problems are provided to enhance readers' understanding of the material. Covers such topics as coordinate and time systems, square root filters, process noise techniques, and the use of fictitious parameters for absorbing un-modeled and incorrectly modeled forces acting on a satellite. Examples and exercises serve to illustrate the principles throughout each chapter.

Download or read book Orbit Determination and Analysis written by COSPAR. Scientific Assembly and published by Elsevier Science & Technology. This book was released on 1997 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paperback. This publication contains the proceedings of the meetings of the COSPAR Technical Panel on Satellite Dynamics which took place during the 31st Cospar Scientific Assembly held in Birmingham (UK) in July 1996. The 20 papers cover a variety of topics relating mainly to satellite orbit determination and analysis. A group of papers discusses orbit determination of low earth orbiters, in particular earth observation and research missions having high accuracy and using various various types of tracking support (data relay satellites, PRARE, laser, GPS). Two papers on geostationary orbits describe a project for their use in time-transfer and their evolution with time. Modelling problems associated with surface forces are analysed by a number of authors (an overview paper on Lageos perturbation models; the impact of surface forces on gravity models covering penumbra affects, numerical integration and attitude motion). One paper describes a visualisation
Download or read book Orbits written by Guochang Xu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-08-15 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this reference and handbook is to describe and to derive the analytic solutionsoftheequationsofsatellitemotionperturbedbyextraterrestrialandgeo- tential disturbances of the second order. The equations of satellite motion perturbed by extraterrestrial disturbances are solved by means of discretization and appr- imated potential function as well as Gaussian equations. The equations perturbed by geopotential disturbances are solved by symbolic mathematical operations. The traditional problem of singularity in the solutions is solved by so-called singulari- free orbit theory. Simpli?ed disturbed equations of motion are proposed to simplify the solutions. Applications of the theory for analytic orbit determination are also discussed. Indeed, this is the ?rst book since the satellite era, which describes s- tematically the orbit theory with analytical solutions, with respect to all of extrat- restrial and geopotential disturbances of the second order, and the solutions are free of singularity. Based on such a theory, the algorithms of orbit determination can be renewed; deeper insight into the physics of disturbances becomes possible; the way to a variety of new applications and re?nements is opened. My primary knowledge of the orbit theory came from my education of mat- matics while studying physics and theoretical mechanics (1981). My ?rst practical experience with orbit came from the research activity at the Technical University (TU) Berlin on orbit corrections of the satellite altimetry data (1988–1992). The extensive experience on orbit came from the GPS/Galileo software development for orbit determination and geopotential mapping at the GFZ (2001–2004).
Download or read book Orbiting Eyes written by Don Nardo and published by Capstone. This book was released on 2009 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you look up at the night sky, do you ever wonder why some stars seem to move? These moving lights are not stars. They are artificial satellites, machines put into space to help us communicate or gather information here on Earth. From the launch of the first artificial satellite in 1957 to the space telescopes making headlines today, these orbiting eyes have helped us study the heavens, survey the earth, stay in touch, and protect our homelands. Headline Science uses news stories and everyday applications to explain the science behind artificial satellites.
Download or read book Orbits written by Guochang Xu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-12 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of the orbits theory lags behind the development of satellite technology. This book provides, for the first time in the history of human satellite development, the complete third order solution of the orbits under all possible disturbances. It describes the theory of satellite orbits, derives the complete solutions of the orbital disturbances, describes the algorithms of orbits determination based on the theory, describes the applications of the theory to the phenomenon of the satellite formation physically. The subjects include: Orbits Motion Equations, Disturbance theory, Solutions of the differential Equations, Algorithms of Orbits determinations, Applications of the theory to the satellite formation.

Smith (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses some applications of Halphen's method for determining the long range (secular) perturbations for planetary and cometary type orbits. This method of treating secular planetary effects has been suggested by Musen for the determination of the long range perturbations due to the moon for artificial satellite orbits. Two FORTRAN II computer programs incorporating this method are described and representative results are presented. The comparison of results obtained here with those obtained by applying other methods demonstrates the adequacy of this method for minor planets and appropriate artificial satellites. It shows also that considerable saving in computer time can be made in the study of artificial satellite orbits when the short period perturbations are not of interest by using a program based on Halphen's method rather than one based on the use of an unaveraged disturbing function. The program for artificial satellites is given.
