Comparison of shadow models and their impact on precise orbit determination of BeiDou satellites during eclipsing phases

Abstract Solar radiation pressure (SRP) is an extremely critical perturbative force that affects the GNSS satellites’ precise orbit determination (POD). Its imperfect modelling is one of the main error sources of POD, whose magnitude is even to10−9 m/s2. The shadow factor (i.e., eclipse factor) is o...
