Orbit prediction for TIROS-N satellite series
Abstract
Software system of orbit prediction for TIROS-N satellite series consists of three modules. The first is the extraction of orbital data for only one orbit, which are transmitted from NOAA/NESS on daily base through GTS (Global Telecommunications Service). The second is the orbit prediction for orbits of 7 days using the one orbital data mentioned above. The predictions of orbits is also made on daily base. In the last module the one orbital data retained through GTS is archived in a disk file for a month, which is further archived in magnetic tape.
