Possibilities to detect explosions in the geostationary orbit (GEO) are discussed. Contrary to low Earth orbit (LEO), where fragments of explosions (with dimensions from 1 m to 10 cm) form in the catalogues the majority of observed objects, in the case of GEO the number of observed fragments is less than 1%, due to the limiting observable dimension being 1 m. A method is proposed combining examination of orbital elements changes of passive objects in order to select those having suffered explosion; photometric observations of these objects aimed to study the nature of the explosion and estimation of the energetics of explosion based on these data. The explosion of the upper stage of rocket Titan Transtage 13( 68081E ) is studied in detail.
