Abstract:
Maneuver detection and calibration for arbitrary satellites observed using
Non-Cooperative Tracking techniques is a challenging problem. In this paper,
we derive new burn reconstruction models capable of performing long-duration
maneuvers better suited to Earth-pointing satellites whose body frame axes are
either velocity-, radial, or inertially-aligned. We then attempt to reconstruct unknown
maneuvers using only the pre- and post-burn ephemerides and the new
velocity-aligned reconstruction technique. Maneuver start and stop time are determined
by minimizing the weighted position and velocity residuals at the end
of the burn. We then compare the optimized burn conditions with simulated
actual burn conditions.
