A modified classical method for preliminary orbitdetermination is presented. In our proposal, the spread of theobservations is considerably wider than in the original method, aswell as the order of convergence of the iterative scheme involved. The numerical approach is made by using matricial weight functions,which will lead us to a class of iterative methods with a sixthlocal order of convergence. This is a process widely used in thedesign of iterative methods for solving nonlinear scalar equations,but rarely employed in vectorial cases. The numerical tests confirmthe theoretical results, and the analysis of the dynamics of theproblem shows the stability of the proposed schemes
