The capability accurately and timely detect a resident space object (RSO) maneuver is a critical task for monitoring space activities. This paper presents a data-driven Gaussian Binary RSO Maneuver Detection (GaBRSOMD) method to detect whether or not there is a maneuver between two tracks of the same RSO on different orbital paths. Using an in-house simulated space catalog environment, the Gaussian Binary Classification (GBC) method is used to detect three types of maneuvers: the maneuver is due to a small impulsive velocity change; a low thrust, and the maneuver is due to either an impulsive or a low thrust which is unknown a priori.
