... To plot the data (and model, here xitau.model), I have read the model, computed the model values for the ASTROMETRY, and used Plot|ASTROMETRY to produce the ASTROMETRY plot widget. ... First, plot the data and with Util|Ellipse and the mouse buttons interactively define an apparent ellipse to fit your data as best as you can. ... Under Util|Orbit, there is a Thiele-Innes procedure to estimate the orbital elements using your apparent ellipse and Kepler's laws! ... Back to tour page . ...

... The post-flight reconstruction of the INTERBALL Auroral probe (Interball 2) orbit has been recently finished in the Ballistic Center of the Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics (KIAM) of Russian Academy of Sciences. ... We shall name these new orbital elements as "Version 3" contrary to the former orbital elements "Version 1" and "Version 2" distributed earlier. All orbital elements are presented in the IKI WEB server in the F1 format . ... of the INTERBALL Project . ...

... The HST uses an onboard model of its orbit to perform in real-time various control functions relating to spacecraft operations and observation support. ... New coefficients for the ephemeris are updated every other day, and are archived as FITS keywords for each HST observation data set. Using these coefficients,an observer can perform a variety of calibration and characterization calculations relating to the orbital position and velocity of the telescope. ...

Catalogue of double stars . The Pulkovo Visual Double Star Catalogue Based on the Relative Positions Derived from the Photographic Observations Made with 26-inch Refractor since 1960. ... Into the present catalogue the seasonal mean relative positions ( r and q 2000 ) are included for 234 visual double stars observed at Pulkovo with 26-inch refractor from 1960 through 2001. ... The photographic and CCD observations of visual double stars are being continued now. ... The Format of the Catalogue. ...

... A document window is shown, with 8 lines (numbered 1 to 8), each 24px high. The text of the "outer" box (at the end of line 1, halfway into line 2, and halfway into line 3) is shifted upward 12px. The text of the "inner" box, thought shifted upward as well, has been relatively positioned so that it lies in its normal flow position at the end of line 2. ... The lines, as they appear in the image, contain: Start 1 Beginning of body contents. 2 of outer contents. Inner contents. ...

... The experience of determination of the link between radio sources and dynamical reference frames is presented. To obtain this connection we used a series of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of the spacecraft Phobos-2 and angularly nearby quasars. ... The dynamical reference frame is determined by equator and equinox of these ephemerides. ... References . ... The relative orientation of the radio and dynamical reference frames can be described by a sequence of three rotations . ...
