Refinement of Near Earth Asteroids' orbital elements via simultaneous measurements by two observers

The aspects of triangulation of Near Earth Asteroids by two arbitrarily positioned observers (one spaceborne and the other Earth-bound, as well as both spaceborne) are being investigated, and the resulting orbital elements are compared to those gained through common orbital determination and refinement techniques. The main advantages of the method proposed in this work are, that given the approximate position of an asteroid, high quality orbital elements can be acquired very rapidly using two observations only.
