METHOD FOR IMPROVING NEAR-SINGULARITY OF DIFFERENTIAL CORRECTION MATRIX

Abstract

This mathematical analysis presents a method for improving near-singularity of a differential connection matrix, as applied to orbiting satellites. The document contains an approximation to a partial derivative matrix, analysis of a normal equation, modification of a normal equation to improve the near-singularity of the matrix, modification of variational equations with and without drag, and determination of drag parameters.
