Abstract
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 of near-Earth space objects, as well as the problem of estimation of the parameters of the corresponding orbits directly from these tracks in the absence of a priori information. The popular approach to solving these problems is based on admissible regions of orbital parameters, which is typically computationally demanding. It is shown that the solution of these problems does not require admissible regions and computationally and algorithmically difficult operations with admissible regions. A new, purely statistical method for solving these problems is proposed.
