“…The fields for fragment search were chosen at the points where the apparent density of catalogued GEO objects in the right ascension -declination space is maximum, or where fragments of presumably exploded objects cross the GEO ring and their parent objects' orbits (Sochilina et al, 2004). In a 2-year period, 150 unknown objects of magnitudes 15-20.5 were detected and about 25,000 measurements in 1400 series were obtained.…”

“…First, we generate fragments from a breakup event in the geostationary region, cited in literatures (e.g. [6][7][8][9]), using the NASA standard breakup model 2001 revision (see [10]). Then, we propagate their orbit till planned observation date to predict population of the generated fragments.…”

This paper proposes to apply the orbital debris modeling techniques to devise an effective search strategy applicable for breakup fragments in the geostationary region. The orbital debris modeling techniques describe debris generation and propagation to effectively conduct predictive analyses of space objects that include characterizing, tracking and predicting the behavior of individual and groups of space objects. Therefore, the techniques enable us to predict population of debris from a specific breakup. The population prediction specifies effectively when, where and how we should conduct optical measurements using ground-based telescopes. The orbital debris modeling techniques also enable us to predict motion of debris in successive images. The motion prediction specifies effectively and precisely how we should process successive images of objects in the geostationary region, taken with ground-based telescopes. This paper also validates the proposed search strategy through actual observations, targeting the US Titan IIIC transtage explosion in the geostationary region.
