Differential correction procedure allows us to improve orbits for which new observations are available; however, it only works provided the original orbit is within the convergence domain of the pseudo-Newton method. Given the strong nonlinearity of the problem, this only occurs when the residuals of the new observations with respect to the old orbit are quite small.
