Resumen

The goal of the Draper Semi-analytical Satellite Theory (DSST) Standalone Orbit Propagator is to provide the same algorithms as in the GTDS orbit determination system implementation of the DSST, without GTDS's overhead. However, this goal has not been achieved. The 1984 DSST Standalone included complete models for the mean element motion but truncated models for the short-periodic motion. The 1997 update included the short-periodic terms due to tesseral linear combinations and lunar-solar point masses, 50 x 50 geopotential, and J2000 coordinates. However, the 1997 version did not demonstrate the expected improved accuracy. Three projects undertaken by the authors since 2010 have led to the discovery of additional bugs in the DSST Standalone which are now resolved.
