Keywords: Pc with Mean elements, correlated orbital elements
Abstract:
The benefits of using Keplerian or equinoctial elements throughout the end-to-end process from doing orbit determination to the calculation of the Probability of Collision (Pc) are investigated. Additional topics include an update and new application of a previously published tool for Pc forecasting, and a discussion of using Monte Carlo as a standard for probabilistic analysis.
