Semiannalytical satellite theory and sequential estimation
S. P. Taylor, Paul Cefola · NASA Technical Reports Server (NASA) · 1980
Kalman filtering techniques are combined with a semianalytical orbit generator to develop a sequential orbit determination algorithm. The algorithm is investigated for computational efficiency, accuracy, and radius of convergence by comparison with truth ephemerides and a Cowell special perturbations filters (GTDS). Test cases relevant to satellite navigation are examined.
