文摘

Development of a survey and follow-up strategy for searching space debris objects in highly-eccentric MEO orbits. Acquisition of an optical survey of Molniya-type orbits with ESA OGS telescope. Detection of 15 correlated and 30 un-correlated Molniya objects. Description of dynamical and physical parameters of newly discovered objects. Raw estimate of the size of non-cataloged Molniya population.
