This doesn't appear to have an algebraic solution; are you sure you have shown the problem correctly? It is a very strange recursive definition.
A graphing calculator and an excel spread sheet both show the sequence converging to 0.9931188712 (to 10 decimal places) by the 10th term; so that will be the value of a102.
