Abstract
In Chap. 9 we discussed numerical procedures for computation of orbits. In this chapter we will discuss other numerical procedures as needed for celestial mechanics and astrodynamics . These include the processing and filtering of observations and fitting ephemerides to the observations, determining an approximation for a given set of measurements, the use of polynomials for the computation from numerical integrations of positions of objects for specific times, and the use of different expressions for the series expansions of general perturbations theories. We will also present a recursive filtering approach for fitting dynamical models to noisy sets of observations. Whereas a polynomial fit to a given set of observations is usually referred to as batch processing , recursive filtering generates an approximation for the state of a system as each measurement is obtained.
