Scientific paper

Photometric observations of three geosynchronous satellites in the B, V, and R color bands obtained with an air-cooled TV detector at the coudefocus of the 50-cm MTM-500 telescope at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory on August 15-22, 1982, are reported. B, V, R, B-V, and V-R curves are shown for each satellite, and the color indices are found to be about the same for the three satellites and similar to those observed for LEO satellites. The light curves show phase dependence, a different reflectivity for each satellite, and approximately 0.2-mag amplitude fluctuations on a time scale of tens of minutes.
