Feasibility study for the implementation of a passive ranging system for Low Earth Orbit satellites
In this project, a feasibility study has been carried out to implement a specialised passive ranging system for satellites in the LEO orbital regime, based on a system previously developed for GEO, called Focusear. For this purpose, a simulator, Parasim, has been used and modified, which, based on a...

| Sumario: | In this project, a feasibility study has been carried out to implement a specialised passive ranging system for satellites in the LEO orbital regime, based on a system previously developed for GEO, called Focusear. For this purpose, a simulator, Parasim, has been used and modified, which, based on a population of satellites and ground stations, simulates the whole process of passive ranging, from the creation of observation plans to obtaining the measurements and the orbital determination based on these measurements. Finally, each of the scenarios studied has been evaluated to determine which are feasible and which are the most promising. |
