The Determination and Use of the Orbit of Proton 4.

Abstract

The orbit of Proton 4, 1968-103A, has been determined at intervals throughout its life using the R.A.E. computer program for the refinement of orbital parameters, PROP. Over 900 optical and radar observations, from 67 observing stations, were used to determine orbits at 20 epochs. (Author)
