Abstract

The America and Russia set their new space surveillance and detection equipment s to the near GEO orbit , and frequently conducted rendezvous and proximity operations(RPO) tests, which may pose great threats to our effect in protecting the precious GEO satellite assets. But the satellites‟ operator schema, the satellites‟ on-orbit status modes were kept secret by the owners, it was difficult for others to acquire detailed information. Firstly both the America and Russia space surveillance system capacities were investigated and summarized. Secondly, taking the distribution characteristics of GEO debris in mind, simulations were conducted based on the near GEO orbit dynamics and few satellite orbit data, to deduce the satellites trace during the valid TLE intervals. The accuracy verification was checked by the “classified” information disclosed mutually by the America and Russia. Finally, the similarities and differences between the American and Russian near GEO satellites were summarized, and suggestions were towed out when using the near-GEO orbit. According to the suggestion, for a near GEO surveillance equipment, it was proper to take enough flue to pushing themselves for more than 2000km, and was better to satay in every near-GEO orbit for more than 20 days when performing the RPO tests.
