Leveraging space-based optical platforms for space debris and defunct spacecraft detection
presents several advantages, including a wide detection range, immunity to cloud cover …

Admissible region methods for initial orbit determination are generally implemented without
considering the contributions of uncertainty in observations or observer state when …

The limited space around the Earth is getting cluttered with leftover fragments from old
missions, creating a real challenge. As more satellites are launched, even debris pieces as …

The direct Bayesian admissible region approach is an a priori state free measurement
association and initial orbit determination technique for optical tracks. In this paper, we test a …

Initial orbit determination (IOD) for space objects is challenging, especially in the case where
only optical observations, ie angles-only observations, are available and the optical …

Electrooptical sensors, when used to track space objects, are often used to produce
detections of space objects for some orbit determination scheme. Instead, this paper …

The advances in the optical space surveillance technology and the possibly more
deployments of space-based optical sensors enable more and more space objects …

The radar-optical mixed track-to-track association (mT2TA) problem is inevitable in the task
of cataloging space objects with a radar-optical integrated surveillance system. However …

Given a short-arc optical observation with estimated angle rates, the admissible region is a
compact region in the range/range-rate space defined such that all likely and relevant orbits …

Typically, near-Earth space objects are observable for a small fraction of the orbit revolution.
In this paper, we consider the problem of identification and fusion of two short optical tracks …
