Preprocessing of Minitrack data
E. R. Watkins · NASA Technical Reports Server (NASA) · 1969
The principles embodied in the Minitrack System are sum marized so that the reader may better understand the reduction process.The use of computers for tracking-data processing necessitates the transition of principles into algorithms; where applicable, the development of algorithms is included.The current procedures for preparing Minitrack data messages, and the current computer processing procedures, are presented with emphasis on a description of the IBM 360 computer program designed and developed on the basis of past experience with Minitrack data reduction.
