General Overview
|
Many
methodological developments were achieved over the last decades to
build artificial satellite theories, following approaches very close to
the ones used in classical Celestial Mechanics (analytical approaches),
or in Numerical Analysis (numerical integration). Simultaneously, the
quality and variety of tracking data, has raised dramatically, and
orbit determination or propagation method have now to be very accurate
to be competitive.
Among other major actors and partners, Paris Observatory played a major
role in orbit determination and propagation. Jointly with the
University of Lille and CNES, it now leads a research program on the
long term stability on the space debris population, and this symposium
could be seen as a good opportunity to draw an assessment on the state
of the art. This Symposium will be focused on the issues related to the
recent
developments and new challenges in orbit determination and propagation
methods. The applications may concern the motion of artificial
satellites (including space debris, artificial satellites of other
planets than the Earth), asteroids, or meteoroids.
The following fields are of
particular interest, but not limited, to the Program Committee:
- Experience from actual spacecraft flight dynamics operations,
- Comparisons between analytical and numerical approaches,
- Orbit determination methods, and their error budget, tracking,
- TLE accuracy determination,
- Orbital dynamics, perturbations.
All presentations will be in English. No simultaneous translation will
be provided.
