Restituted (or operational) orbits are produced (e.g. at ESOC) using the same information and processing as with the Predicted Orbits. In this case, the central day of the three days moving window provides the final orbit. As a result, the operational orbit is available with a delay of one day after the pass of the satellite. Typically its information is specified every 60 seconds with less precision compared to precise orbits.
Precise orbit products result from a computation using all available satellite tracking data and its correction with dynamical models. They achieve the most accurate model of representing the real orbit motion.
