Initial Identification of Thrust and Orbit Elements for Continuous Thrust Spacecraft in Circular Orbit

Continuous thrust spacecraft in circular orbits have had a great influence on the identification and cataloging of space targets. Gaussian-type orbital element variational equations are simplified and approximated. Ground-based radar observation datasets are transformed into orbit elements datasets....
