Spacecraft Orbit Determination

Spacecraft Orbit Determination is the scientific process within astrodynamics that involves estimating and refining the trajectory of a spacecraft by integrating observational data with dynamic models, distinguished by its reliance on precise force modeling—including solar radiation pressure effects—to achieve accurate orbital state estimation.
