    Abstract

    The non-cooperative object using satellite laser ranging (SLR) is in developing period and the orbit predictions are not precise enough. The effective data are not enough to determine a precise orbit. Therefore, it is proposed that precise orbit determination of non-cooperative objects can be achieved by combining the SLR range data with optical observation data. The results of the experiment using single station SLR data of Ajisai and Jason-1 satellite prove that the precision of combined orbit determination increases one order of magnitude than the optical orbit determination, and then the orbit prediction with high precision for non-cooperative objects can be achieved. The result has significant value for promoting the laser range of non-cooperative objects to reach a well conventional operation state.
