Least squares solutions in statistical orbit determination using singular value decomposition

This thesis is a partial analysis of the Naval Space Command statistical orbit determination algorithms. Through a process called Differential Correction, data from space surveillance radar observation stations is synthesized with previously accumulated element sets to maintain accurate orbital obje...
