Statistical orbit determination

The treatment presented here will cover the fundamentals of satellite orbit determination and its evolution over the past four decades. By satellite orbit determination we mean the process by which we obtain knowledge of the satellite’s motion relative to the center of mass of the Earth in a specified coordinate system.
Orbit determination for celestial bodies has been a general concern of astronomers and mathematicians since the beginning of civilization and indeed has attracted some of the best analytical minds to develop the basis for much of the fundamental mathematics in use today.

Statistical orbit determination provides students and professionals in aerospace engineering with the tools to understand and implement advanced orbit determination theory and methodology. This volume is the result of four decades of classroom instruction and research, and has been enhanced by the authors’ involvement in satellite missions including Sea Sat. The six chapters and eight appendices provide a practical reference for professionals and in depth textbook for graduate students.
