Abstract

Initial orbit determination may be used to initialize object tracking and associate observations with a tracked satellite, but only if uncertainty information exists for the approximated orbit. While classical initial orbit determination algorithms only provide a point solution, uncertainty information may be inferred using deterministic sampling techniques. Along with uncertainty characterization, two statistical learning techniques are tested in their ability to approximate the orbit determination mapping: first, a polynomial approximation built from the statistical moments in the state space and second, Gaussian Process Regression.
