Abstract and keywords

Abstract (English):
The threat of a collision with a potentially hazardous object (PHO) and smaller asteroids requires the ability to reliably calculate the orbits of celestial bodies. The quality of the determined orbit depends on both the accuracy and intervals of observations and on the method of their processing: the completeness of the dynamic model, the method of numerical integration, calculation errors, etc. The practical implementation of the orbit determination algorithm is associated with the peculiarities of taking into account the above factors. To assess the accuracy of motion prediction using orbits obtained with the help of different software packages, we compared the deviations in observed and calculated values of observations, i.e.

comparison was carried out for orbits obtained using software developed in leading Russian scientific organizations with teams working on asteroid-comet dynamics: Pulkovo, Tomsk State University (TSU) and Institute of Applied Astronomy of RAS (IAA), as well as orbits presented on the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's (JPL) Horizons website. The asteroids Apophis and Phaethon were chosen as objects for which the

comparison was performed. Observations of each asteroid were divided into two samples by time. The asteroid's orbit was improved using the earlier sample, and the later sample was used to access the accuracy of the prediction. The

distribution profile for orbits obtained using different software turned out to be very similar, indicating the proximity of predictions. The most accurate orbits were obtained using the Improvement and IDA software developed at the IAA and TSU, respectively.
