Abstract

The description of an optical complex at the Assy-Turgen Observatory (Kazakhstan) is given. This complex is suited for astrometric and photometric observations of active and passive objects (small-size space debris included) in geostationary orbits. It may be used to reveal, identify, and track potentially hazardous objects (asteroids and comets). The results of test observations are presented.
