Abstract While orbital propagators have been investigated extensively over the last fifty years, the consistent propagation of state covariances and more general (non-Gaussian) probability densities has received relatively little attention. The representation of state uncertainty by a Gaussian mixture is well suited for problems in space situational awareness. Advantages of this approach, which are demonstrated in this paper, include the potential for long-term propagation in data-starved environments, the capturing of higher-order statistics and more accurate representation of nonlinear dynamical models, the ability to make the filter adaptive using real-time metrics, and parallelizability. Case studies are presented establishing uncertainty consistency and the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive Gaussian sum filter.
