Scientific paper
A method is presented for determining the osculating orbit of an earth satellite using the following parameters of the satellite's apparent motion relative to the observer at a fixed moment of time: the equatorial coordinates of the satellite, its topocentric angular velocity, and acceleration, and the position angle and curvature of the apparent trajectory. These parameters are derived using statistical analysis of a set of directions to the satellite obtained at a single tracking station and extended on a 10-20 degree topocentric arc. This method is applied to the orbit determination of Pageos and Geos A.
