A Mathematical Guide for Doppler Tracking of Satellites in Low Earth Orbit
For a low-cost, low-power, consistent, and accurate method of satellite tracking, which may be an optimal option for those involved in the private space industry or academia, Doppler tracking is a proven and versatile choice. By using foundational concepts from various fields of mathematics with little known background information, a satellite’s complete orbital profile can be determined from a single overhead (horizon-to-horizon) pass worth of Doppler data and further updated with consecutive...

Summary of "A First-Person History of Military Space" by Gregory S. Bowen
Having served 36 ½ years in the military with a background in space, missile defense, and strategic deterrence, Bowen (2024) was able to provide abundant insight into the evolution of outer space utilization for defensive military benefit and some of the current challenges it presents. Throughout the genesis of “military space” in the 1980s, the capabilities of the United States were highly classified and more strategic in nature against the Soviet Union, which at the time was a quickly dev...
