Space Traffic Management
Starting with the understanding of how measurements are collected and processed, astrodynamics specific to the space around the earth inhabited by the vast majority of all operational satellites. The class introduces the challenges of sparse data per object, initializing orbits without a priori information and how to maintain custody of objects in the highly non-linear fastly changing orbital regime.
