An algorithm to choose the best combination of the number of observationsand time intervals between the measured directions for Initial Orbit Determination(IOD) problem is presented. The algorithm has been developed to be ableto work with an angles-only IOD method capable of using multiple observations.The IOD technique developed by the current authors was used for thepurpose of this paper. To be able to apply the adaptive technique, a large numbersof closely apart measurements need to be performed. Using these measurements,the algorithm then adaptively selects those measurements resultingin the best estimation based on a defined criterion.
