Real‐Time Thermospheric Density Estimation via Two‐Line Element Data Assimilation

Inaccurate estimates of the thermospheric density are a major source of error in low Earth orbit prediction. In this work, we develop a reduced-order dynamic model for the thermospheric density by computing the main spatial modes of the atmosphere and deriving a linear model for the dynamics. This m...
