Orbit determination methods for a geostationary (GEO) satellite are introduced. In order to control or model the thrust force, a Kalman filter based on dynamic model compensation is proposed for the orbit determination of a maneuvered GEO satellite. The main idea is to use a first-order Gauss-Markov process to compensate the unmodeled or inaccurately modeled accelerations caused by orbital maneuver in Kalman filter-based orbit determination. Simulation with Chinese ground tracking network for a maneuvered GEO satellite was conducted to verify the performance of the proposed orbit determination technique. The results show that it can efficiently compensate the influence of orbital maneuver and achieve high orbit accuracy.

AbstractModern observational techniques using ground-based and space-based instrumentation have enabled the measurement of the distance between the instrument and satellite to better than one centimeter. Such high precision instrumentation has fostered applications with centimeter-level requirements for satellite position knowledge. The determination of the satellite position to such accuracy requires a comparable modeling of the forces experienced by the satellite, especially when classical orbit determination methods are used. Geodetic satellites, such as Lageos, in conjunction with high precision ground-based laser ranging, have been used to improve for modeling of forces experienced by the satellite. Space-based techniques, such as Global Positioning System (GPS), offer alternatives, including kinematic techniques which require no modeling of the satellite forces, or only rudimentary models. This paper will describe the various techniques and illustrate the accuracies achieved with current satellites, such as TOPEX/POSEIDON, GPS/MET and the expectations for some future satellites.
