Estimation of ballistic coefficients of low altitude debris objects from historical two line elements

TL;DR: In this paper, a new method for estimating ballistic coefficients (BCs) of low perigee debris objects from their historical two line elements (TLEs) is presented, which uses the drag perturbation equation of the semi-major axis of the orbit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accurate orbit predictions for debris orbit manoeuvre using ground-based lasers

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the method and results of a short-term accurate low Earth orbiting (LEO) trajectory prediction using ground-based laser-based ground-BSs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental results of debris orbit predictions using sparse tracking data from Mt. Stromlo

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented comprehensive results and analyses for the assessment of short-term orbital prediction accuracy. But the main objectives of the analysis were to assess the performance of shortterm (1-2 days) orbital prediction using single-station tracking data from Mt. Stromlo.
Journal ArticleDOI

An analysis of very short-arc orbit determination for low-Earth objects using sparse optical and laser tracking data

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the accuracy of very short-arc optical and laser tracking data for objects in low-Earth orbits and found that the reduction in accuracy is not extensive and good orbit predictions are still possible when using only 5 seconds of data from the beginning of each pass.
