Fundamentals of Orbit Determination
Orbit determination is the process of estimating a spacecraft's trajectory from a set of imperfect tracking observations. It is a foundational component of every spaceflight mission from GPS to Earth-observation satellites to planetary missions like OSIRIS-REx and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. This course builds the mathematical machinery on which every orbit-determination process sits: dynamical and measurement models and their partial derivatives, and the representation and propagation of uncertainty. The estimation algorithms themselves (batch least squares, Kalman filtering, smoothing) are
