Improving Image Processing for Orbit Estimation

Abstract

This paper reports on the outcomes of the cooperative agreement between Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and the Air Force Research Laboratory, submitted in response to FOA-RVK-2019-0001. This agreement was a base of one year and extended for a second year. The work done during year two was a departure from the proposed research, as directed by interests of the Technical Program Manager, to include non-optical methods of orbit estimation. As such, the report is divided into two primary sections of optical and radio frequency methods.
