An overview of earth satellite orbit determination
Abstract
This paper considers orbit determination for artificial satellites within the geosynchronous distance of the earth. A brief description of the systems used to gather data (past, present and future) will be presented as well as the accuracies of the data and the accuracies of the resultant orbits. The methods of analyzing the data and the applications and future trends of earth satellite orbit determination will be discussed.
