Abstract	I have constructed and demonstrated a new fast-running algorithm to perform refined orbit determination for any spacecraft in GEO (geosynchronous Earth orbit), without user requirement for an a priori orbit estimate. We now have a refined method for GEO initial orbit determination (IOD). This is enabled by the use of equinoctial orbit elements, by a one-dimensional search in the equinoctial orbit element mean argument of orbit longitude, by the use of sensor locations to reduce the one-dimensional search, and by convergence boundaries of the nonlinear least squares (LS) algorithm. I shall refer herein to the new algorithm as LS_GEO_IOD. Algorithm LS_GEO_IOD uses any desired perturbative acceleration model for numerical trajectory integration, and its success appears to be independent of input measurement type.
