Adaptation of spectroscopic techniques can provide preliminary orbital elements of satellite with precision when tracked by Earth-based doppler; R.Lehmann-Filhes method is described; solution of transcendental equation to permit conversion from doppler count to range rate, accounting for light time and atmospheric refraction, is discussed; correction of data to yield radial velocity for analysis by Lehman-Filhes accounts for parallax, earth rotation, systemic velocity, and plane of sky rotation; interpolation of missing portion of radial velocity curve due to lunar occultation is noted; R.Deutsch's method for node determination is described as well as resolution of remaining nodal ambiguity and associated motion sense by utilization of doppler; orbital element errors from doppler noise are obtained by statistical methods and presented for satellite.
