    abstract

    An orbit determination method Is described which Is tailored for estimating the transfer orbit and orbits encountered during positioning and station keeping of a geostatlonnary satellite, from observation of azimuth and elevation (or the equivalent) of a single autotrack antenna, the ultimate version Is Intended for use In Fl1, P.A.S, 1 and subsequent ELDO launchings.
