In this paper results are presented from an analysi s assessing the data requirements for orbit element generation for a new high-accuracy catalogue for the Space Environme nt R search Centre, Australia. The analysis is work ing towards obtaining a robust set of rules for orbit e lement generation using orbital data from optical a nd laser tracking of debris and satellites. Optical and laser tracking data collected from seve ral tracking campaigns carried out by EOS Space Sys tems Pty Ltd, located on Mount Stromlo, Australia, is fitted to provide an updated orbital element. The element accuracy is determined for various data-availability scenarios, ncluding: (1) fitting optical tracking data only; (2) fitting optical and laser tracking data. The orbit predictions from the new orbital element are compared with SGP4 pro pagation from two-line element data and accuracy is assessed by comparing with high accuracy ephemerides where available or subsequent accurate tracking data. Future integr ation and enhancements to the catalogue are also di scussed. This work forms part of the collaborative effort of the Space Environment Management Cooperative Resea rch Centre which is developing new technologies and str ategies to preserve the space environment ( www.serc.org.au ).
