Simplified Deep Space Perturbations (SDP) models apply to objects with an orbital period greater than 225 minutes, which corresponds to an altitude of 5,877.5 km, assuming a circular orbit. [ 3 ] The SGP4 and SDP4 models were published along with sample code in FORTRAN IV in 1988 with refinements over the original model to handle the larger ...
The TLE format is a de facto standard for distribution of an Earth-orbiting object's orbital elements. A TLE set may include a title line preceding the element data, so each listing may take up three lines in the file, in which case the TLE is referred to as a three-line element set (3LE), instead of a two-line element set (2LE). The title is ...
Orbital elements can be encoded as text in a number of formats. The most common of them is the NASA / NORAD "two-line elements" (TLE) format, [7] originally designed for use with 80 column punched cards, but still in use because it is the most common format, and 80-character ASCII records can be handled efficiently by modern databases.
Orbital position vector, orbital velocity vector, other orbital elements. In astrodynamics and celestial dynamics, the orbital state vectors (sometimes state vectors) of an orbit are Cartesian vectors of position and velocity that together with their time () uniquely determine the trajectory of the orbiting body in space.
Early results about relative orbital motion were published by George William Hill in 1878. [3] Hill's paper discussed the orbital motion of the moon relative to the Earth.. In 1960, W. H. Clohessy and R. S. Wiltshire published the Clohessy–Wiltshire equations to describe relative orbital motion of a general satellite for the purpose of designing control systems to achieve orbital rendezvous.

Orbit modeling is the process of creating mathematical models to simulate motion of a massive body as it moves in orbit around another massive body due to gravity.Other forces such as gravitational attraction from tertiary bodies, air resistance, solar pressure, or thrust from a propulsion system are typically modeled as secondary effects.
