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

Figure 8-14 <strong>Orbit</strong> Prediction during <strong>Satellite</strong> Maneuver<br />

Comparing Figure 8-10 with Figure 8-13 and Figure 8-12 with Figure 8-14, it can be seen that the accuracies <strong>of</strong><br />

predicted orbit are significantly enhanced by the maneuver force models that are updated by kinematic orbit<br />

determination. In Figure 8-11, the accuracy <strong>of</strong> prediction orbit is about 300 meters for 5 hours <strong>of</strong> maneuver<br />

operation, but in Figure 8-13, the accuracy <strong>of</strong> prediction orbit is about 5 meters for 5 hours <strong>of</strong> maneuver<br />

operation. In Figure 8-12, the accuracy <strong>of</strong> prediction orbit is about 300 meters after 48 minutes <strong>of</strong> maneuver<br />

operation, but in Figure 8-14, the accuracy <strong>of</strong> prediction orbit is about 5-10 meters after 48 minutes <strong>of</strong> maneuver<br />

operation. It should be noted again that in the results above, 30% unmodeled maneuver force errors are assumed,<br />

which were not corrected during orbit determination and prediction. If maneuver force model is more accurately<br />

or the accuracy <strong>of</strong> observation is increased, the time <strong>of</strong> orbit prediction will be longer.<br />
