dear Peter ,
Again in the satellites business.
firstorb output for geo05592 ,made with 2 obs from greg Roberts
05092.841000 00000
03.40 041.6 0.00000 0.0000 120.1 01.019200
long 28 deg EAST
Note that N may be very different , also for e , but
I think i is within 0.3 deg from its real value
My site 2572 was closed april 2002 , a new is under preparation(
for 2006 ? )
actual site not very suitable for CCD obs , location is 4.5 KM
South-east from
wittenheim.
Found an interesting BOOK ( METHODS of ORBITS determination , basic
prog.
laplace , improve and a lot of other , deals with COMETS ,ASTEROIDS
, but
can be adapted for distant satellites when you use short arcs and
precises obs.
SEE willmann bell , 1991 isbn 0-943396-34-4 , richmond usa , author
