Uncertainty Analysis of the Short-Arc Initial Orbit Determination

The solution of the short-arc angles-only orbit determination problem has large uncertainty because the topocentric range is not observable. For a certain angular observation tracklet with measurement noise, there exist numerous potential orbits, all of which are compatible with the observations. Ho...
