Abstract

In the paper we give an algorithm for calculating the effective area of reflection and the linear dimensions from the photometric observations at the boundary of Earth's shadow for geostationary satellites: “Sicral”, “Intelsat-1002”, “USA-164” (Milstar-2 F3), “Arabsat-2B”, “Intelsat-802”, “Cosmos-2397”.
