Operations manual: Initial orbit estimation module
Abstract
A computer program to compute estimated orbital element sets based on positional observations from a single observing site were developed and tested. It provides a reasonable mix of operator interaction and automation, making it adaptable to the level of proficiency of the user. This manual includes a program overview, concept of operations, specific operating instruction, examples of program operation and examples of program output.
