Statistical Orbit Determination presents fundmentals of orbit determination--from weighted least squares approaches (Gauss) to today''s high-speed computer algorithms that provide accuracy within a few centimeters. Numerous examples and problems are provided to enhance readers'' understanding of the material.- Covers such topics as coordinate and time systems, square root filters, process noise techniques, and the use of fictitious parameters for absorbing un-modeled and incorrectly modeled forces acting on a satellite.- Examples and exercises serve to illustrate the principles throughout each chapter.
