Radar systems for monitoring objects in geosynchronous orbit / by Chuck Livingstone.: D68-4/009-2013-1E-PDF

Current deep-space surveillance systems are incapable of detecting small (~30cm) debris objects in the geosynchronous orbit belt that contains active geostationary satellites. Because of battery and residual fuel explosions in derelict spacecraft and rocket bodies in this orbit regime, small debris objects are expected to exist and to pose a hazard to the increasing population of geostationary satellites.
