Abstract
  In this paper, a precise propagation model which takes into account the effects of the atmospheric drag and gravitational harmonies is developed and presented using available Two Line Element (TLE) data. Moreover, the prediction of the trajectory of space objects (e.g. the operational and non-operational ...  Read More
