Abstract
The Naval Space Command maintains a database of orbital elements for the
objects in the space catalog. This report is a documentation of the software
which inputs new observations of a satellite and its old element set and outputs a
new element set. Topics covered include: mathematics of batch least squares
differential correction process, definition of fit span and passes, calculation of
residuals and partials, inclusion of historical data, solution to normal equations,
iterations and tolerances.
