Eugene Stansbery-Meter Class Autonomous Telescope Observations of the Geosynchronous Orbital Debris Environment: Observing Years: 2020-2022

This report summarizes optical measurement data of the orbital debris (OD) environment in geosynchronous orbit (GEO) from the Eugene Stansbery-Meter Class Autonomous Telescope (ES-MCAT), operated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Orbital Debris Program Office (ODPO).

The period covered by this report includes data collected from 14 April 2020 through 12 April 2022, representing the first GEO survey completed with ES-MCAT. Results presented in this report represent a broad overview of the current state of the OD environment in GEO as measured by ES-MCAT. Unique effects from the COVID-19 global pandemic on ES-MCAT observations are also discussed.
