Abstract Orbital uncertainty propagation is fundamental in space situational awareness-related missions such as orbit prediction and tracking. Linear models and full nonlinear Monte Carlo simulations were primarily used to propagate uncertainties [1]. However, these methods hampered the application due to low precision and intensive computation. Over the past two decades, numerous nonlinear uncertainty propagators have been proposed. Among these methods, the state transition tensor (STT) method has been widely used due to its controllable accuracy and high efficiency [2]. However, this method has two drawbacks. First, its semi-analytical formulation is too intricate to implement, which hinders… More >
