  • Identify GEO Objects #5
    Identification of UI Objects in Classification of Geosynchronous Objects Issue 11 Ted Molczan 2010 Jan 31 Revision 2, 2010 Feb 02 Abstract Sixty-seven (67) objects reported as unidentified in Classification of Geosynchronous Objects, Issue 11, have been newly correlated with launches, and identified as a specific piece from their launch. Corrections of 5 previous independent identifications are proposed. This increases the total number of identified objects to 140, out of 152 originally reported as unidentified. 1. Introduction The European Space Agency’s European Space Operations Centre reports annually on the status of objects in geosynchronous orbit, via the Classification of Geosynchronous Objects (COGO) series, produced by the Space Debris Office of the Ground Systems Engineering Department. COGO Issue 11, Section 4.7, reports 152 objects tracked by the International Scientific Optical Network (ISON), classified as unidentified, because they could not initially be correlated with a specific launch. They receive permanent IDs of the form UI.nnn, in which UI denotes unidentified, and nnn is a serial number. Objects that are eventually correlated to launches retain their UI designation, but are also listed in Section 4.7 with their COSPAR designation. The launches expected to account for most of the 152 UI objects are the 77 which placed a total of 153 officially catalogued objects into geosynchronous orbit, for which orbital elements are not available from official sources. COGO Issue 11, identifies 40 objects that had been correlated with their launches, and independent researchers have correlated an additional 33 objects. All belong to the 77 known launches. The present study originates within the small community of hobbyists who observe objects in orbits for which official orbital elements are not available, and analyze their orbits, optical characteristics and radio transmissions.

    1 Introduction to Space Electronic Reconnaissance Geolocation 1.1 Introduction With the rapid development of aerospace technology, space has gradually become the strategic commanding point for defending national security and providing benefits. As the electronic reconnaissance satellite is able to acquire the full-time, all-weather, large-area, detailed, near real-time battlefield information (such as force deployment, military equipment, and operation information), it has become a powerful way to acquire information and plays an important role in ensuring information superiority [1, 2]. In the early 1960s, the United States launched the first general electronic reconnaissance satellites in the world – Grab and Poppy – to collect electronic intelligence (ELINT) on Soviet air defense radar signals. Intelligence from Grab and Poppy provided the location and capabilities of Soviet radar sites and ocean surveillance information to the US Navy and for use by the US Air Force. This effort provided significant ELINT support to US forces throughout the war in Vietnam [3]. Space electronic reconnaissance (SER) refers to the process in which signals from various electromagnetic transmitters are intercepted with the help of man-made satellites, and then features of signal are analyzed, contents of signal are extracted, and the position of transmit- ters are located [1–5]. The main tasks for space reconnaissance includes: intercepting signals from various transmitting sources such as radars, communication devices, navigation beacons, and identification
