Operations Manual. Initial Orbit Estimation Module,

Abstract

A computer program to compute estimated orbital element sets based on positional observations from a single observing site has been developed and tested. It provides a reasonable mix of operator interaction and automation, making it adaptable to the level of proficiency of the user. This manual includes a program overview, concept of operations, specific operating instruction, examples of program operation and examples of program output. (Author)
