Modern Orbit Determination: Second Edition

Modern Orbit Determination is an introduction to the applications of estimation theory to orbit determination. Beginning with the deterministic point of view, the author moves towards the more modern stochastic viewpoint. The fact that the degree of determinism present is an engineering decision is emphasized.

About the Author
Dr. Wiesel received his B.S. degree in astronomy from the University of Massachusetts in 1970, and his Ph.D. in stronomy from Harvard University in 1974. His early experience included tracking satellites with what is now Space Command in the U.S. Air Force, and software development for satellite tracking. He has published numerous technical papers in solar system astronomy, optimal orbit transfer, control of periodic systems, and dynamical systems theory. His current interests center about applying dynamical systems theory to orbital mechanics.
