Method of orbit refinement from tracking data is presented; data are assumed to contain random errors and errors that can be expressed in some known functional from but involving unknown constants; assumptions lead to smoothing technique capable of producing orbital elements with minimum sensitivity to systematic errors; formulas are derived explicitly in case where only systematic errors present are constant throughout visibility zone of pertinent observer; hypothetical case in which no random errors appear is treated.
