Paper presents global method of estimating true position and velocity of moving body at some preselected instant, from succession of its observed, not too widely spaced positions; method uses a priori knowledge of integral equations of motion of body, and may be used in problems of trajectory determination, prediction, or retrodiction, and also in inverse mode, for refinement of these equations.
