  • Correlating single continuous wave radar space object observation for initial orbit determination
    Patent number: 6707418
    Abstract: Correlating observations of objects in the sky to determine an orbit includes identifying an initially identified object, determining if the initially identified object will be identifiable again, and identifying a subsequently identified object. A determination is then made by comparing characteristics of the initially identified object with the subsequently identified object. If the object correlate to one another a path or orbit of the object can be determined using the characteristics of the initially identified object and the subsequently identified object.
