Abstract

By means of this document we inform regarding the collaboration between the Venezuelan institutions, Bolivarian Agency for Space Activities (ABAE) and the Astronomy Research Center (CIDA) with the purpose of using astrometry for the tracking of the Venezuelan Geostationary Satellite Venesat1 by means of optical observation. For this purpose two small astronomical observatories shall be installed on the space tracking ground stations owned by the ABAE in Venezuela and we hope that in a short term they shall be producing the expected results, and also that these observations may be extended to future Venezuelan satellites and to the determination of the geostationary space debris trajectories.
