Determination of two Satellites’ relative motion using tracking measurements
Tóm tắt
A technique to determine the initial relative velocity of two satellites at the initial time instant, based on the results of NORAD system’s measurements, is presented. The determination of a relative initial position is shown to result in the unsatisfactory accuracy. This technique is applied to determining the initial velocity of separation of the first Russian nanosatellite TNS-0 from the International Space Station.
