Abstract

Based on the analysis of the characteristics of the equations of condition in the UVM2 (Unit Vector Method 2), the total least squares method (TLS) is introduced into the orbital determination and the linearization of the vis-viva formula in the original algorithm is thereby avoided. The calculated results from simulation and observation data show that the application of TLS to UVM2 is effective.
