Some comments on the TLE problemetic Main point: the TLE are self consistent and need no other informations The only extrapolation program usable is SGP4 or SDP4 To include the TLE in the “CCSDS world “ there are two faces: the <form < = syntaxe == no problem The <physical content < = semantic difficult (or impossible) to achieve In fact it depends on the accuracy needed and the extrapolation horizon. In any case the SGP4 and SDP4 models are mandatory so they must be well and ‘uniquely ‘ define in my opinion ,the following pictures give the possible interfaces between ‘TLE world’ and ‘CCSDS world’

Some comments on the TLE problemetic

Main point: the TLE are self consistent and need no other informationsThe only extrapolation program usable is SGP4 or SDP4

To include the TLE in the “CCSDS world “ there are two faces:

the <form < = syntaxe == no problem

The <physical content < = semantic difficult (or impossible) to achieve In fact it depends on the accuracy needed and the extrapolation horizon.

In any case the SGP4 and SDP4 models are mandatory so they must be well and ‘uniquely ‘ define

in my opinion ,the following pictures give the possible interfaces between ‘TLE world’ and ‘CCSDS world’

Mean orbital elements in TLE format

Extrapolation only with

SGP4 for low earth orbit

SDP4 for deep earh orbit

similar but in an other semantic to the keplerian elements only of OPM

but in mean elements

need only

SGP4 or SDP4

results

osculating elements in Thrue Of Date

Position Velocity

IDENTICAL to the osculating elements only of OPM

FOR OPM WITH AND WITHOUT CHANGES

need to Assume Concsistency with B* parameter and

DRAG_AREA SOLAR_RAD_AREA

DRAG_COEFF SOLAR_RAD_COEFF

INPUT

problem of propagation accuracy

Mean orbital elements in TLE format

Extrapolation only with

SGP4 for low earth orbit

SDP4 for deep earh orbit

results

osculating elements in Thrue Of Date

Position Velocity

identical to the osculating elements only of OEM

FOR OEM without change

Need to assume Concsistency with B* parameter

NEW OPM IN

Mean orbital elements in TLE format

OD using ephemeris as measurements only with

SGP4 for low earth orbit

OR

SDP4 for deep earh orbit

results

Kind of mean elements in Thrue Of Date

Position Velocity ( parameter B*…?)

FOR A TLE LIKE OPM OR OEM

Assume Concsistency with B* parameter

and

DRAG_AREA SOLAR_RAD_AREA

DRAG_COEFF SOLAR_RAD_COEFF

INPUT

OSCULATING ELEMENTS

EPHEMERIS GENERATION

NEW OEM IN

Mean orbital elements in TLE format
