Abstract:

We observed geosynchronous satellites simultaneously from two different telescopes and obtained optical-infrared colors. With the HANDS-IONS camera on the University of Hawaii 2.2-m telescope, we obtained K photometry of the satellites, while we used the Oceanit MStar 0.4-m telescope in Kihei, Maui, for the V measurements. We report V-K and light curves for several GEO satellites.
