MENU PROPAGATION
By
means of this menu it is possible to choose the model for the orbit
propagation. It is possible also to access the windows for the
generation of IOD observation reports. The menu contains the
following items:
SGP1
If
this option is checked, the simplified SGP algorithm will be employed
to propagate the satellite orbits. If neither this option nor the SGP4
option are selected a pure keplerian model will be employed to compute
the satellite position.
SGP4
If
this option is checked, the SGP4/SDP4 algorithms will be employed
to propagate the satellite orbits. If neither this option nor the SGP1
option are selected a pure keplerian model will be employed to compute
the satellite position. Some program functions may properly work only when the SGP4/SDP4 algorithms are employed, therefore, it is strongly recommended to keep this option checked.
