Reihe: JPL Deep-Space Communications and Navigation Series

A valuable reference for students and professionals in the field ofdeep space navigation
Drawing on fundamental principles and practices developed duringdecades of deep space exploration at the California Institute ofTechnology's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), this book documentsthe formation of program Regres of JPL's Orbit DeterminationProgram (ODP). Program Regres calculates the computed values ofobserved quantities (e.g., Doppler and range observables) obtainedat the tracking stations of the Deep Space Network, and alsocalculates media corrections for the computed values of theobservable and partial derivatives of the computed values of theobservables with respect to the solve-for-parameter vector-q. TheODP or any other program which uses its formulation can be used tonavigate a spacecraft anywhere in the solar system.
A publication of the JPL Deep Space Communications and NavigationSystem Center of Excellence (DESCANSO), Formulation for Observedand Computed Values of Deep Space Network Data Types for Navigationis an invaluable resource for graduate students of celestialmechanics or astrodynamics because it:
* features the expertise of today's top scientists
* places the entire program Regres formulation in an easy-to-accessresource
* describes technology which will be used in the next generation ofnavigation software currently under development
The Deep Space Communications and Navigation Series is authored byscientists and engineers with extensive experience in astronautics,communications, and related fields. It lays the foundation forinnovation in the areas of deep space navigation and communicationsby conveying state-of-the-art knowledge in key technologies.
