Reports 2007-2008

This document briefly describes how the Geostationary and Transfer Orbits Object Survey has been carried out during the period of time that ranges from January 2007 to May 2008, at the Optical Ground Station (OGS), under subcontracts:

1) Subcontract E/17825-01 of contract 17825/03/D/HK ESOC-ESA “Space Debris Optical Observations and Analysis with ESA 1M Telescope”.

2) Subcontract E/15836-01 of contract 15836/01/DK/HK ESOC-ESA “Extension of Optical Observations Capability for the Zeiss 1M Telescope”, Phase 1 and 2.

We present some statistics about the site atmospheric conditions (seeing), the distribution of the observation nights and the different technical problems found during the achievement of the observational campaigns of the year 2007 and beginning of 2008.
