This research aims to provide a method that can treat the association and initial orbit determination problems simultaneously. This problem is also known as the Multiple Target Tracking (MTT) problem. The complexity of the MTT problem is defined by its dimension S. The S>3 MTT problem is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem. In previous work an Elitist Genetic Algorithm (EGA) was proposed as a method to approximately solve this problem. It was shown that the EGA is able to find a good approximate solution in a reasonable computation time. In this work the algorithm is applied to observations taken at the Zimmerwald observatory.
