Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to discuss the observability
of targets moving on cr near the earth's surface
when viewed from space by an ortiting satellite. A simplified
derivation of the satellite's orbital mechanics is
undertaken, which taken in conjunction with a description of
the target's motion allows for the derivation of a system of
relative coordinates. An observability analysis is then
performed on the resulting series of nonlinear equations,
which in turn forms the basis for the design of a deterministic
nonlinear observer and an Extended Kalman Filter to
track the target.
