Perturbations in the motion of a geostationary satellite due to the attraction of the moon and the sun and those due to light pressure are considered. Formulas are obtained for estimating these perturbations in spherical coordinates. Results of calculations for time intervals of 10, 30, and 90 days are presented. For a period of 30 days, perturbations due to the moon and the sun reach 400 km and 170 km, respectively; perturbations due to light pressure are 9.4 km (without allowance for shadow) and 4.6 km (with allowance for shadow).
