TLE Residual Data

Residual information concerning the solved-for TLE created by the Generate TLE tool. A residual is the position difference between the satellite's ephemeris and the ephemeris created using the generated TLE.

Available for these objects: Satellite

Type: Time-varying data.

Availability: Reports | Graphs

Name	Dimension	Type	Description
Obs Time	Date	Real Number or Text	Observation time.
Initial X Residual	Distance	Real Number	The X component of the position difference vector between the satellite ephemeris and the initially generated TLE, expressed in the TEME coordinate system.
Initial Y Residual	Distance	Real Number	The Y component of the position difference vector between the satellite ephemeris and the initially generated TLE, expressed in the TEME coordinate system.
Initial Z Residual	Distance	Real Number	The Z component of the position difference vector between the satellite ephemeris and the initially generated TLE, expressed in the TEME coordinate system.
Initial Range Residual	Distance	Real Number	The magnitude of the position difference vector between the satellite ephemeris and the initially generated TLE.
