A practical method to improve the accuracy of orbit prediction and position error covariance prediction

With continuous developments in the space industry, the space near the Earth is occupied by a variety of spacecraft whose number is increasing dramatically every year. To avoid a collision, huge computation power is necessary to determine the possibility of a collision between two space objects. However, there are various uncertainties in the collision prediction process, which aggravates the burdens on space safety management.
