State Vector Determination By A Single Tracking Satellite

Astrophysics 2022-08-29 v2

Abstract

Using only a single tracking satellite capable of only range measurements to an orbiting object in an unknown Keplerian orbit, it is theoretically possible to calculate the orbit and a current state vector. In this paper we derive an algorithm that can perform this calculation.
