(Preprint) AAS 14-204 INITIAL ORBIT DETERMINATION, DATA ASSOCIATION, AND ADMISSIBLE REGIONS OF SPACE OBJECTS USING MAGNETOMETERS

چکیده

Magnetometer-based detection and characterization of space objects is motivated and challenges are discussed. Observable constants of motion with and without charge screening are derived in detail. Batch filtering methods are proposed to estimate the observable space object states. A novel application of orbit and detection constraints is used to generate admissible region boundaries for unobservable states, allowing initial orbit determination and data association of space objects passing near magnetometers. Practical and operational issues are discussed, followed by suggested future research activities.

The Use of Short-arc Angle and Angle Rate Data for Deep-space Initial Orbit Determination and Track Association

The population of deep space resident space objects (RSOs) are tracked with sparse resources and thus tracking data are only collected on these objects for a relatively small fraction of their orbit revolution (i.e. a short-arc). This contributes to commonly mistagged or uncorrelated RSOs, and their associated trajectory uncertainties (covariances) to be less physically meaningful. The case of ...

Aas 15-413 a Labeled Multi-bernoulli Filter for Space Object Tracking

To maintain custody of the increasing number of detectable objects in Earth orbit, tracking systems require robust methods of multi-target state estimation and prediction. One alternative to the classic multiple hypothesis and probabilistic data association methods uses a random finite set for modeling the multi-target state. The common forms of such filters sacrifice knowledge of specific targ...

New Approach to Multiple Data Association for Initial Orbit Determination Using Optical Observations

The proposed approach aims to develop a new method of forming and processing of multiple hypotheses for initial orbit determination using optical observations. This method allows us to generalize the existing 2-dimensional flat constrained admissible region (CAR) to a unique 3-dimensional (3D) manifold of points corresponding to the pairs of observed right ascension and declination. Another adv...

Parallel Algorithm for Track Initiation for Optical Space Surveillance

We propose a type of admissible-region analysis for track initiation in multisatellite problems when angles are the primary observable. For a specified rectangular partition in the space of orbital elements, we present explicit upper and lower bounds, and other constraints, for the values of range and range rate that will lead to initial orbit hypotheses (data association hypotheses) associated...
