Celestial Mechanics: Initial Orbit Determination, Unit Vector Method, Long Arc
Scientific paper
According to the principle of the unit vector method, (UVM), a method of initial orbit determination for long arc is presented. This method is applicable to not only long
arc but also short arc. It suits for different kinds of observational data and the artificial earth satellites with any orbital eccentricity and inclination. In addition, this method is beneficial to the accuracy of initial orbit determination and the convergence of algorithm. Especially, it offers a basis to extend the application of the UVM method from the initial orbit determination to the orbit improvement.
