ORBIT DETERMINATION AND EPHEMERIS COMPUTATION. DIGITAL COMPUTER PROGRAM

Abstract

The program is based on the analytical work contained in a previous report (AD-625 453). In addition, some analytical methods not covered in the above report are presented in the appendix of this report. The operating modes, general features and accuracy of the program are discussed. Operating instructions and input/output descriptions and definitions are provided. All symbols used in the program are listed and defined. Flow charts, descriptions and explanations of the program and subroutines are also included. The program is written in Fortran IV and machine language (MAP). Double precision is used extensively.
