Scientific paper

The Magdalena Ridge interferometer (MROI) is an optical interferometer that is currently (summer, 2010) in the construction phase. Almost all of the design work has been completed and the majority of the subsystems are being assembled. When completed, the array will consist of 10 fully transportable 1.4m telescopes to support multiple configurations with baselines from 7.5m to 350m to give sub-milliarc second angular resolution. We assess the potential imaging capability of the Interferometer with regard to geosynchronous targets. We conclude that a significant proportion of the GEO targets may be accessible and that it may be possible to routinely extract key diagnostics with 7x7 pixel image and could distinguish 70cm features on a 5-meter satellite, or 30cm features on a 2-meter satellite.
