Abstract An approximate solution to the angles-only initial relative orbit determination problem is developed and evaluated in the context of the two-body problem with J 2 perturbations. The algorithm is non-iterative and requires the singular value decomposition of a 6 × 6 matrix and the solution of a fifteenth-order polynomial. The performance of the algorithm is investigated for non-circular low-Earth orbits and near-circular geostationary orbits with and without measurement error.
