Rendezvous BET Program

Abstract

Computes relative positions of two vehicles in concentric orbits. LRBET3 program best-estimate-of-trajectory (BET) calculation for postflight trajectory analysis of Shuttle orbital rendezvous maneuvers. LRBET3 produces estimated measurements for reconstructing relative positions of two vehicles. Kalman filter and smoothing filter applied to relative measurement input data to estimate state vector, reduce noise, and produce BET output. BET calculation minimizes variances of all trajectory estimation errors. LRBET3 written in FORTRAN IV for batch execution.
