On-board Space Station Freedom orbital state prediction
Abstract
The Navigation orbital state predictor onboard Space Station Freedom is presented in detail. The utility employs an element or special perturbation technique known as the Bond/Gottlieb (BG) 14 method. The BG14 ordinary differential equations are derived using the variation of parameters method as applied to a linear and regular 2-body solution. This derivation of the universal BG14 solution to the perturbed problem is then specialized to the onboard design.
