Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) navigation with DSN radio metric data
Abstract
The use of DSN radiometric data for enhancing the orbit determination capability for TDRS is examined. Results of a formal covariance analysis are presented which establish the nominal TDRS navigation performance and assess the performance improvement based on augmenting the nominal TDRS data strategy with radiometric data from DSN sites.
