Not being a mathematician myself, a thought just occurred to me......and I could very well be wrong..... but can't I fit 1, 2 or 3 points to any curve ie I could pick 3 random points and I could fit it to any curve/orbit I choose?

With such short arcs over such a long time span how much impact would timestamps have on this situation?

Cheers
