Optical monitoring of inter satellite distance between Turksat-2A And Turksat-3A

Geostationary satellites are objects, which revolve around the Earth where orbits are nearly circular and located on the equator plane with a period exactly equal to the rotation of the Earth. Most of such satellites are used for civil and military communication, television broadcasting and weather forecasting. Gravitational forces of the Sun, Moon and non-uniform mass distribution of the Earth perturb the geostationary orbits. Including these gravitational anomalies pressure of Solar winds is another source of perturbation. Because of these perturbations, orbits of geostationary satellites disturbed and some correction maneuvers must be performed.
