Perturbed initial orbit determination
Astrodynamics, 2023 An algorithm for robust initial orbit determination (IOD) under perturbed orbital dynamics is presented. By leveraging map inversion techniques defined in the algebra of Taylor polynomials, this tool returns a highly accurate solution to the IOD problem and estimates a range centered on the aforementioned solution in which the true orbit should lie. To

Uncertainty Analysis of the Short-Arc Initial Orbit Determination [PDF]
IEEE Access, 2020 The solution of the short-arc angles-only orbit determination problem has large uncertainty because the topocentric range is not observable. For a certain angular observation tracklet with measurement noise, there exist numerous potential orbits, all of ...

Coarse Initial Orbit Determination for a Geostationary Satellite Using Single-Epoch GPS Measurements [PDF]
Sensors, 2015 A practical algorithm is proposed for determining the orbit of a geostationary orbit (GEO) satellite using single-epoch measurements from a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver under the sparse visibility of the GPS satellites.

Effect of Observation Geometry on Short-Arc Angles-Only Initial Orbit Determination
Applied Sciences, 2022 Space-based optical sensors are attracting increasing research attention as they can measure the angle of space targets over large areas, facilitating low-cost, wide-area space target surveillance. Studying the effect of observation geometry on short-arc

One-Shot Initial Orbit Determination in Low-Earth Orbit [PDF]
2024 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2023 Due to the importance of satellites for society and the exponential increase in the number of objects in orbit, it is important to accurately determine the state (e.g., position and velocity) of these Resident Space Objects (RSOs) at any time and in a timely manner.

Direct Initial Orbit Determination
IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems, 2023 Initial orbit determination (IOD) is an important early step in the processing chain that makes sense of and reconciles the multiple optical observations of a resident space object. IOD methods generally operate on line-of-sight (LOS) vectors extracted from images of the object, hence the LOS vectors can be seen as discrete point samples of the raw ...
