LS GEO IOD
Abstract
I have constructed and demonstrated a new fast-running algorithm to perform refined orbit determination for any spacecraft in GEO (geosynchronous Earth orbit), without user requirement for an a priori orbit estimate. We now have a refined method for GEO initial orbit determination (IOD). This is enabled by the use of equinoctial orbit elements, by a one-dimensional search in the equinoctial orbit element mean argument of orbit longitude, by the …
