Using a suitable prediction formula, the state (position and velocity) at any point in the past or future can be estimated to some accuracy. TLEs can describe the trajectories only of Earth-orbiting objects. TLEs are widely used as input for projecting the future orbital tracks of space debris for purposes of characterizing ``future debris events to support risk analysis, close approach analysis, collision avoidance maneuvering'' and forensic analysis. The format was originally intended for punched cards, encoding a set of elements on two standard 80-column cards.% \footnote{\cite{Wiki22:twolineelemesetwikipfreeencyc}} diff --git a/src/Glossary.bib b/src/Glossary.bib index 718451c..064bd2d 100644 --- a/src/Glossary.bib +++ b/src/Glossary.bib @@ -498,3 +498,11 @@ } } +@entry{alt-az-mount, + name = {altazimuth mount}, + long = {altazimuth mount}, + description = {a simple two-axis mount for supporting and rotating an instrument about two perpendicular axes --- one vertical and the other horizontal.
