Prepared by ESA Space Debris Office Reference GEN-DB-LOG-00270-OPS-SD Issue/Revision 21.0 Date of Issue 19 July 2019 Status Issued ESA UNCLASSIFIED - Limited Distribution ! Page 2/234 Classification of Geosynchronous objects. Issue Date 19 July 2019 Ref GEN-DB-LOG-00270-OPS-SD ESA UNCLASSIFIED - Limited Distribution ! Abstract This is a status report on (near) geosynchronous objects as of 1 January 2019. 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 From 1578 objects for which orbital data are available (of which 14 are outdated, i.e. the last available state dates back to 180 or more days before the reference date), 529 are actively controlled, 831 are drifting above, below or through GEO, 195 are in a libration orbit and 21 are in a highly inclined orbit. For 2 object the status could not be determined. Furthermore, there are 60 uncontrolled objects without orbital data (of which 55 have not been catalogued). Thus the total number of known objects in the geostationary region is 1638. Finally, there are 130 rocket bodies crossing GEO.

  • Encounters with Atolls and Reefs of the Indian and Southwest Pacific Oceans
    Encounters with Atolls and Reefs of the Indian and Southwest Pacific Oceans Review by Geoff Walker To those who have not seen an Atoll, they may ask what it is, well, an Atoll is a circular-shaped coral reef, island, or series of islets, which surrounds a body of water called a lagoon. Sometimes, Atolls and lagoons encompass a central island. Channels between islets connect a lagoon to the open ocean or sea. They are best observed in tropical regions, particularly in the Indian Ocean as well as the central and south west Pacific Ocean. They come in all sizes, some are minute, whilst others are massive in area, thus providing large, safe, protected anchorages. Some are well renowned, whilst others have never been heard of, and are little more than a miniscule notation or “dot” on an Admiralty Chart. There is a tendency for Atolls to form into clusters or groups and they can be a serious hazard to surface navigation. Many have taken their toll on unwary mariners, and which bear the evidence by numerous shipwrecks; a few of which are captured in this account. The formation of an Atoll is a slow process that can take millions of years. It starts when an underwater volcano erupts, creating a buildup of lava on the seafloor. With the passage of time, and continued eruptions, the lava continues to build until it breaks through the ocean's surface and forms an island. With the passage of time, hard corals begin to build a limestone reef around the island. Once the outer reef is formed it is called a “Fringe Reef” and encircles the recently created island, just below the ocean surface.
