The most suitable methods or orbit determination are discussed. The constraints related to each method are considered. The DORIS system, the GPS (global positioning system) constellation concept, and the use of geostationary relays in the tracking and data relay satellite system are discussed. Extensions of these existing systems are considered. Several future concepts still in the design stage are discussed. These concepts, based on techniques of stellar refraction, pixel identification, new satellite constellations and the use of optical links instead of radiowaves are given careful consideration.
