Abstract
Space debris is becoming a real problem with the constant increase of many-orbit artificial satellites. It threatens other active satellites including the ISS. Currently the best option to mitigate its effects is performing routinely observations and cataloguing them. This research aims to study the astrometric positions of HISPASAT, an active geostationary satellite constellation, in order to optimize the methodology for space debris observation. We perform a GEO optical survey with the Telescope Fabra ROA Montsec and discuss the optimal observation strategy
