Which of the following are inputs to a satellite tracking program?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: B. The Keplerian elements
The Keplerian elements are the input to a satellite tracking program. These numbers describe the satellite's orbit, so the program can predict where it will be. The program calculates Doppler itself; you don't enter it.
Tip: Kepler's numbers in, satellite passes out.
