The degree of observability's analysis for satellite-to-user Orbiter Tracking System
Abstract
Tracking schemes of the High Altitude Satellite to Low-Altitude User Orbiter Tracking (SOT) system are objectively appraised using the Degree of Observability (DOB) index. An extended Kalman filtering algorithm applicable to the SOT system for estimating the state of the user orbiter is given. A DOB method for analyzing the effects of various tracking schemes on the SOT system orbit determination accuracy is presented.
