| Abstract | When no information is known about a satellite’s orbit, an initial orbit determination method must be used. Traditionally, this yields only a point solution, with no uncertainty information. This paper proposes that probabilistic information may be derived directly from the initial orbit solution, given measurement error characteristics. This information may be especially useful when observations of the object are very sparse, and any additional information is valuable. In this paper, we examine Gauss’s angles-only method. Assuming the noise characteristics of the sensor are known, we estimate an empirical probability density function yielded by combining the required three measurements. |
