Abstract:

This disclosure describes techniques for providing a transformative framework to forecast physical properties of an atmosphere to predict the orbit of satellite devices. As one example, the transformative framework has two major components: (i) the development of a quasi-physical dynamic reduced-order model (ROM) that uses a linear approximation of the underlying dynamics (e.g., solar conditions or magnetic conditions) and effect of the drivers, and (ii) data assimilation and calibration of the ROM through estimation of the ROM coefficients that represent the model parameters.
