Pseudo-Stochastic Orbit Modeling Techniques for Low-Earth Orbiters [PDF]
Journal of Geodesy, 2006 The Earth’s non-spherical mass distribution and atmospheric drag cause the strongest perturbations on very low-Earth orbiting satellites (LEOs). Models of gravitational and non-gravitational accelerations are utilized in dynamic precise orbit determination (POD) with GPS data, but it is also possible to derive LEO positions based on GPS precise point ...
