Statistical Orbit Determination

Klappentext This book 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. *Detailed solutions to end-of-chapter exercises available to instructors. Zusammenfassung Presents the fundamentals of orbit determination - from weighted least squares approaches (Gauss) to the high-speed computer algorithms that provide accuracy within a few centimeters. This book provides numerous examples and problems and covers topics such as coordinate and time systems! square root filters! process noise techniques! and others.
