Scientific paper

A numerical integration of the equations of motion in orthogonal coordinates is used for an algorithm of orbit determination applicable to the 'Interkosmos-Kopernik 500' satellite. The method assumes that the forces described in the model of the earth's normal gravitational field and the resistance of the stationary atmosphere are the only factors influencing the satellite's orbit. This procedure yields various navigation parameters of the satellite including: the angular heights of the sun and Jupiter above the satellite horizon, the satellite altitude above the earth surface, and the geographical coordinates of an undersatellite point.
