Previously, the authors have proposed a generalized model for estimating the distribution law parameters of luminosity of space objects, assuming that not only successful but also unsuccessful measurement results are taken into account. Estimation was done on the data of observations under similar conditions: phase angle, range, sensibility of the telescope. The algorithm under such limitations was tested on model data and real measurements. Therefore, obtained results showed that algorithm did not fit for cases of changing range of space objects. In this work, the new algorithm, that allows to merge information from different ranges to the observed space object, is proposed. In this case, luminosity values are reduced to the ones at a reference distance of 1000 km considering sensibility of the telescope. To obtain estimates of the parameters the Cramer-Mises-Smirnov criterion is used. This algorithm was tested on model data and results of its work on real data were obtained. The data showed correct work of the algorithm and also confirmed the practicability of organization the registration of unsuccessful measurements.
