This is a modern textbook that guides the reader trough theory and practice of satellite orbit prediction determination. Starting from basic principles orbital mechanics, it covers elaborate force models as well precise methods tracking. Emphasis on numerical treatment multitude algorithms adopted in trajectory computation are described detail. Numerous exercises applications provided supplemented by unique collection computer programs with associated C++ source codes included accompanying...
Measurements of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers are affected by systematic offsets re- lated to group and phase delays the signal generation and processing chain. The resulting code biases depend on transmission frequency employed signal modulation. Within this study differential code biases (DCBs) legacy an d modernized GNSS signals are derived from pseudodrange observations a global multi-GNSS receiver network. Global ionosphere maps (GIMs) employed for...
This article discusses the attitude modes employed by present Global (and Regional) Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) and models used to describe them along with definitions of constellation-specific spacecraft body frames. A uniform convention for labeling principal axes is proposed International GNSS Service (IGS), which results in a common formulation nominal all satellites yaw-steering mode irrespective their specific orbit constellation. The conventions defined within this document...
The implementation of synthetic apertures by means a distributed satellite system requires tight control the relative motion participating satellites. This paper investigates formation-flying concept able to realize demanding baselines for aperture synthesis, while minimizing collision hazard associated with proximity operations. An elegant formulation linearized equations is discussed and adopted formation design. eccentricity/inclination-vector separation, originally developed...
