Complex Observations of Geosynchronous Maneuvering Objects by Ukrainian Terrestrial Means
Abstract
The monitoring of geosynchronous satellites (GSS)in Ukraine: opportunities, problems. Shows ways to solve the problem of monitoring GSS using their optical observations. An extensive analysis of the results of positional and photometric observations of the GSS makes it possible to study their behavior in orbit. An original analysis method is proposed the maneuvers of two Russian GSS, "Luch-Olymp-K1" and "Electro -L1" in 2016-2017, were studied: their movements to new points of standing and their working state in orbit were described.
