DETERMINATION OF EXTERNAL GSS PAYLOAD FROM LIGHT CURVES

They are offered reflective features to external surface geostationary satellites on which possible identify the separate external construction geostationary satellites. Such constructions can be; the type and forms radio antennas, solar panels, thermo film on surfaces of the platform. They are given to recommendations and specified moments of time, condition, under which possible find the external payload. The paper presents the results of colorimetric observations of 5 GSS of multipurpose operation, on the platform of which an external payload in the form of several radio antennas was found, and in some cases the orientation and technical characteristics of the GSS were estimated
