Title:
A Method for Determining the Effect of Dynamic Error's of a Radar Satellite Tracker on Orbit Prediction
Report Date:
1964-08-26
Abstract:
This thesis briefly discusses the difficulty of specifying the accuracy of a satellite tracker. Equations are developed which: (1) determine azimuth and elevation angle data and fit them to fourth order time polynomials; (2) compute the orbit parameters from evaluations of these polynomials; and (3) evaluate the response of a selected tracker transfer function to the input of these time polynomials by the method of Laplace transformation. Orbit elements computed from this last evaluation are compared with the previous set to obtain the error in orbit prediction. A Fortran II program is presented which performs these computations on the IBM 7094 digital computer.
