Ephemeris Generation

Ephemeris Generation is the computational process of producing a time-ordered sequence of celestial body positions and velocities by numerically integrating orbital dynamics models and incorporating observational data, distinguished from related orbit determination and propagation methods by its specific purpose of creating high-precision, predictive trajectory tables for use in navigation, observation planning, and mission design.
