Based on orbital data in ESA’s DISCOS database and on orbital data provided by KIAM the situation near the geostationary ring is analysed. From 1523 objects for which orbital data are available (of which 0 are outdated, i.e. the last available state dates back to 180 or more days before the reference date), 519 are actively controlled, 795 are drifting above, below or through GEO, 189 are in a libration orbit and 19 are in a highly inclined orbit. For 1 object the status could not be determined. Furthermore, there are 59 uncontrolled objects without orbital data (of which 54 have not been cata- logued). Thus the total number of known objects in the geostationary region is 1582.

    IMAGES Geostationary Satellite over East Africa Observed from Kitt Peak, Arizona WIllIAM LIVINGSTON s a solar observer on Kitt Peak in Arizona one has evenings free, and I have amused myself Awith photography of twilight phenomena. One such exposure near the McMath–Pierce Telescope in the early evening sky revealed, in addition to the expected star streaks, a curious line of three fixed “stars” (Fig. 1). These proved to be geostationary satellites, or geo-stats. That we were aimed at the equator of the sky may be judged by the red streak due to the equatorial Orion nebula and the three bright stars of Orion’s Belt. Since the latitude of Kitt Peak is 31°N, the sky equator is that distance south from directly overhead. Geo-stats are relay communication and environ- mental satellites with nearly circular orbits, in the equatorial plane of the Earth, and with an orbital period of one sidereal day—the time it takes the Earth to fully rotate measured relative to the fixed stars rather than the sun. If these three conditions are met, an artificial satellite will be stationary in space about 35,786 km (approximately 22,276 mi) above the Earth, FIG. 1. Our discovery of how to record geo-stat images on the equator of the sky: the three faint fixed “stars” and subject only to minor gravitational effects of the to the left of the red nebula streak are geo-stats.

A successor spacecraft to Intelsat 709, Intelsat 15 will operate in an orbital position of 85° East Longitude. Following its launch in early 2009, Intelsat 15 (IS-15) primarily will provide services to the Asia-Pacific, Indian Ocean and Middle East regions. The satellite will be equipped with 22 Ku-band transponders, five of which JSAT will own and operate. JSAT’s transponders will be used for direct broadband communications between Japan and the coastal nations throughout Asia-Pacific and the Indian Ocean regions. The Ku-band services on IS-15 will offer JSAT’s customers two-way communications with data transfer speeds of 6Mbps, providing land and sea communications, including allowing ships to send navigation and other operating information to their land-based headquarters.

    Rep. ITU-R M.2109 1 REPORT ITU-R M.2109 Sharing studies between IMT-Advanced systems and geostationary satellite networks in the fixed-satellite service in the 3 400-4 200 and 4 500-4 800 MHz frequency bands (2007) Executive summary This Report provides a summary of the sharing studies between IMT-Advanced systems and geostationary satellite networks in the fixed-satellite service (FSS) in the 3 400-4 200 and 4 500-4 800 MHz frequency bands. It was conducted by ITU-R in the framework of Agenda item 1.4 of WRC-07, in accordance with resolves 5 to Resolution 228 (Rev.WRC-03), as these bands were identified as candidate bands for future development of IMT-2000 and IMT-Advanced systems, as described in the Report ITU-R M.2079. The bands 3 400-4 200 MHz and 4 500-4 800 MHz are allocated worldwide on a primary basis to the FSS. This Report presents the results of the sharing studies performed between geostationary satellite networks in the FSS and IMT-Advanced systems. The following areas are covered in this Report: − Regulatory information. − Frequency usage by satellite services in these bands, provided on a global and regional basis. − FSS space and earth station deployments. − Considerations on potential identification of the 3 400-4 200 MHz and 4 500-4 800 MHz bands for IMT-Advanced. − Parameters of the systems considered in this Report. − Sharing studies (methodologies and results) between the two services from two aspects: − Interferences from IMT-Advanced transmitters to receiving FSS earth stations (in-band and adjacent band, and overdrive of the FSS receivers).
