Process noise of satellite orbit determination

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on challenges in satellite orbit determination, specifically regarding the calculation of the transition matrix that relates process noise to state parameters of position and velocity. The key issue is how to derive the partial derivatives of process noise concerning these parameters. There is a question about whether the atmospheric drag model can be used as an explicit expression for process noise, particularly if air drag acceleration is considered. The thread seeks insights and solutions to these technical problems. Responses are encouraged to address these specific concerns.

During my work of space vehicle orbit determination, I have been confronted with a difficulty that hasn't been solved until now. When calculating the transition matrix that translate the process noises to the state parameters of position and velocity,how can I work out the partial derivatives of the process noise with respect to the position and the velocity parameters?May I take the atmospheric drag model as the process noise explicit expression,if I take air drag acceleration as a process noise? WAITING for your helpful answer.

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
