Abstract

Two methods that the author developed for finding the orbit of a small celestial body from three pairs of range and range rate observations are applied to the determination of orbits of some artificial Earth satellites. The efficiency of using these methods is investigated in comparison with the commonly used procedure based on the construction of the unperturbed Keplerian orbit. The comparison shows that the methods proposed are an efficient means for studying perturbed motion.
