Abstract

There are different populations of space debris (SD) in the geostationary (GEO) region. It is of great interest to know their dynamics, in order to contribute to aspects such as alerts against possible collisions, repositioning of GEO satellites or placing those satellites that come into service. In this contribution we present a study about the detection and dynamic analysis of SD located in the GEO ring. Using the telescopes of the Venezuelan Obseratory National (VON), a large amount of astrometric observations have been acquired. A preliminary dynamic analysis of them has been carried out, which evidences the average relative motion of these orbiters with a mean absolute error for coordinates of ≈ 0.09 pix.
