Orbital parameters for Ariel 4 (1971-109A) and Prospero (1971-93A) have been determined at the Royal Aircraft Establishment and made available for use with the respective telemetry analysis programs. Ariel 4 orbit determinations were based on NASA Minitrack observations, and Prospero orbit determinations on US Navy observations and a small number of visual observations.
