Coarse Initial Orbit Determination for a Geostationary Satellite Using Single-Epoch GPS Measurements

A practical algorithm is proposed for determining the orbit of a geostationary orbit (GEO) satellite using single-epoch measurements from a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver under the sparse visibility of the GPS satellites. The algorithm uses three components of a state vector to determine t...
