Chapter 8 Geostationary <strong>Orbit</strong> <strong>Determination</strong> And Prediction During <strong>Satellite</strong> Maneuvers<br />

On the other side, the accuracy <strong>of</strong> kinematic orbit determination is not related to the dynamic force models, it<br />

only dependents on the observation noise and geometrical distribution <strong>of</strong> the ground tracking stations. The lower<br />

the noise <strong>of</strong> observation, the better the accuracy <strong>of</strong> the kinematic orbit determination. Figure 8-7, that shows the<br />

results <strong>of</strong> kinematic orbit determination using carrier phase observation, verifies the conclusion above.<br />

8.2.2 <strong>Orbit</strong> <strong>Determination</strong> With Maneuver Operation<br />

Following are the results <strong>of</strong> orbit determination during satellite maneuvers using the kinematic and the dynamic<br />

methods. The observations are still ranges with 1 m random noise. The satellite maneuver starts at 5 h 00 m and<br />

stops at 10 h 00 m . The maneuver lasts 5 hours. The maneuver accelerations are assumed as follows<br />
