Aas 16-236 Probabilistic Initial Orbit Determination

چکیده
Future space surveillance requires dealing with uncertainties directly in the initial orbit determination phase. We propose an approach based on Taylor differential algebra to both solve the initial orbit determination (IOD) problem and to map uncertainties from the observables space into the orbital elements space. This is achieved by approximating in Taylor series the general formula for pdf mapping through nonlinear transformations. In this way the mapping is obtained in an elegant and general fashion. The proposed approach is applied to both anglesonly and two position vectors IOD for objects in LEO and GEO.

Multi-Observations Initial Orbit Determination based on Angle-Only Measurements
A new approach with the ability to use the multiple observations based on the least square approach has been proposed for initial orbit determination. This approach considers the Earth’s Oblateness by using the developed Lagrange coefficients. The efficiency of the proposed method has been tested in two scenarios. The first scenario is to use the simulated and the second one is to utilize the r...

The orbit determination of a satellite in a geostationary orbit is usually based on optical observations. Telescopes all around the Earth are observing the geostationary ring to obtain periodically new measurements in order to update the estimation of the objects’ orbits. One critical aspect of the orbit determination process is the initial orbit determination because no a priori information ar...

Magnetometer-based detection and characterization of space objects is motivated and challenges are discussed. Observable constants of motion with and without charge screening are derived in detail. Batch filtering methods are proposed to estimate the observable space object states. A novel application of orbit and detection constraints is used to generate admissible region boundaries for unobse...
متن کاملDetermination of the best-fitting reference orbit for a LEO satellite using the Lagrange coefficients
Linearization of the nonlinear equations and iterative solution is the most well-known scheme in many engineering problems. For geodetic applications of the LEO satellites, e.g. the Earth’s gravity field recovery, one needs to provide an initial guess of the satellite location or the so-called reference orbit. Numerical integration can be utilized for generating the reference orbit if a satelli...
