The current disclosure provides systems and methods of directly measuring angular velocity and angular acceleration of space objects and using the measured angular velocity and angular acceleration as inputs into new and unique algorithms for initial orbit determination. Sensors measuring locations and times of light events may be used to generate a virtual rate track image for identification of space objects. Right ascension and declination of the space object events versus time may be fit to polynomials or splines to determine associated angle, angular rate, and angular acceleration of the space objects. New and unique initial orbit algorithms may then be applied to estimate orbital elements of the space objects.
