Recursive formulas for determining intermediate coordinates of earth satellites
Abstract
Recursive formulas are derived for the coefficients of power series of intermediate coordinates of satellites in a spheroidal coordinate system. The formulas make possible digital computation of the solutions with arbitrary accuracy.
