Abstract: 

As part of the international program «Astronomy in the Elbrus region» a study of space debris objects using optical measurements carried out at an observation complex of Zeiss-2000 telescope in the Terskol observatory. Objectives of the study are: research of technogenic pollution of near-Earth space, detection and cataloging of small space debris, orbit catalogs maintenance, determination of physical characteristics of such fragments.
Keywords: observations, orbital debris
