Asteroid orbit determination code using the Method of Gauss (orbit_det.py) and an experimental JAX AutoGrad (autograd.py) approach for comparison. Overall, the Method of Gauss approach is a lot more effective than AutoGrad since it fundamentally uses prior knowledge about the physical equations surrounding graviation while AutoGrad is simply brute forcing the optimization process.
