Abstract:A new Doppler radar initial orbit determination algorithm with embedded uncertainty quantification capabilities is presented. The method is based on a combination of Gauss' and Lambert's solvers. The whole process is carried out in the Differential Algebra framework, which provides the Taylor expansion of the state estimate with respect to the measurements' uncertainties. This feature makes the approach particularly suited for handling data association problems. A comparison with the Doppler integration method… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
