Hello, I am a Master's student.
I want to know how much error there is using TLE(Two Line Element) data.
I tried to get the data from Celestrak for my experiment,
(I can request the data here : https://www.celestrak.com/NORAD/archives/request.php)
but it seems that it will take time for me to get one.
Furthermore, I cannot find the real state related to the TLE data given.
So, I am going to make artificial data for my own,
by adding random error to real data I have made using propagation model.
In order to actually apply this, I need to know the real error.
Is there a good reference I can refer to?
Or is there any one who knows this?
The SGP4 model has an error of approximately 1 km at epoch, and grows 1-3 km per day. See D. A. Vallado, Fundamentals of Astrodynamics and
Applications, 2nd ed. The Space Technology Library,
2001.
