Spacecraft orbit determination and prediction taking into account perturbations due to on-board system operation

M. V. Zakhvatkin


Abstract: The paper describes developed models and techniques for orbit determination and prediction of a spacecraft, the motion of which undergoes significant perturbations due to variable solar radiation pressure and occasional firings of stabilization system thrusters. Impact on orbital accuracy is being showed on actual tracking and on-board data of the «Spectrum-R» («Radioastron») spacecraft.

Keywords: orbit determination, solar radiaton pressure, reaction wheels.
