In this book, analytic methods of orbit prediction and control are investigated for important low-thrust and impulsive orbit change and station-keeping applications, and the results compared with actual exact numerically-integrated counterparts to evaluate their accuracy and applicability. With one eye on future autonomous on-orbit navigation applications both in near-circular and general elliptic orbit, with minimal computational effort and high accuracy, the orbit prediction and control segments of such autonomous navigation systems are explored by also taking into account the shadowing...
