Kalman filter based orbit observability study

An Extended Kalman filter simulation technique was used to determine the observability of satellite orbits from one or two earth stations. It was found that range and range-rate measurements alone were insufficient for orbit determination. Either azimuth angle or elevation angle information were als...
