Data and Software Questions / Re: OrbitNP.py - New Release 1.2
« on: January 22, 2022, 02:26:17 AM »
I hope it is a simple question to some - where can I find the basic orbit fit theory that is implemented here? In math terms. Something what I could code myself as a parallelized algorithm. Thanks for any references on this.

Mission Tracking Feedback / Re: Satellite BLITS-M
« on: December 15, 2017, 12:25:57 AM »
This satellite is a beautiful design.
I do not know how bright was the original BLITS, but this document:
https://cddis.nasa.gov/lw13/docs/papers/target_vasiliev_1m.pdf
indicates that BLITS-like satellite of 214 mm in diameter would have a maximum star magnitude of 11 at a distance of 2000 km (probably in zenith).
Does BLITS-M have any metallic/aluminum layers on the surface, or is it entirely dielectric body?
