LANGUAGE C, SQL INCLUDE ZSPSS_USER_TYPES.SDDL RECORD orbfit_control_type DESCRIPTION "This relation contains HST and TDRS ephemeris least squares fit parameters to control the fitting process. The ORBFIT/CREATE program uses these parameters to fit the HST/TDRS ephemeris data into a curve loaded into relation fit_cat. Columns 'arg_lat', 'orb_radius', 'ra_asc_node', and 'inclination' define solve for flags (T=true, F=false). There are seven terms per column. The first three terms are a Taylor series in time truncated at 2nd order. The last four are a Fourier expansion to 2nd order. The Taylor series will give the long term behavior of the fit (so-called 'secular' or aperiodic behavior), while the Fourier terms give the effect of any repeating deviation of the ephemeris points from a circular orbit. An excellent degree of accuracy can be obtained using a first order Taylor expansion for the time varying orbital longitude (F1) and the longitude of the ascending node (F3) and a zeroth order Taylor expansion for the radius (F2) and the inclination (F4). Second order Taylor and all Fourier terms can be ignored. For more information on the fit model, see Appendix B, SE-06-02." FIELD name DESCRIPTION "Name of the fit control parameters.
