The use of Global Positioning System (GPS) observables provides the primary and advantageous technique for satellite orbit determination in low earth orbit (LEO), in particular when onboard autonomy is required. A wide range of LEO spacecraft equipped with GPS receivers have been launched into space for different applications. Aiming at determining the position and velocity of the satellite in real-time, a consider Kalman filter (CKF)-based reduced-dynamic orbit determination (RDOD) is introduced in this paper. In the CKF, orbit dynamic model is simplified to meet the space-borne computational limitations. The atmospheric drag and solar radiation pressure coefficients are considered rather than estimated in the conventional RDOD strategy. Only a lower order and degree of an earth gravity model is used in the orbit model. However, the propagation of the covariance of the consider parameters is able to absorb the unmodeled and dismodeled perturbations. Therefore, the filter could become convergent with desirable orbit determination performance. The CKF-RDOD method is implemented with a set of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment flight data. The solutions indicate that this proposed method could achieve satisfactory precision orbit determination with approximately 1.5 m level of three-dimensional root-mean-square error using GPS broadcast messages in real-time scenarios.
