N2 - Leveraging space-based optical platforms for space debris and defunct spacecraft detection presents several advantages, including a wide detection range, immunity to cloud cover, and the ability to maintain continuous surveillance on space targets. As a result, it has become an essential approach for accomplishing tasks related to space situational awareness. However, the prediction of the orbits of space objects is crucial for the success of such missions, and current technologies face challenges related to accuracy, reliability, and practical efficiency. These challenges limit the performance of space-based optical space situational awareness systems. To drive progress in this field and establish a more effective and reliable space situational awareness system based on space optical platforms, this paper conducts a retrospective overview of research advancements in this area. It explores the research landscape of orbit determination methods, encompassing orbit association methods, initial orbit determination methods, and precise orbit determination methods, providing insights from international perspectives. The article concludes by highlighting key research areas, challenges, and future trends in current space situational awareness systems and orbit determination methods.
