Abstract: 

We describe the GOCK-2005 Catalogue (Geosynchronous Objects Catalogue: Kyiv 2005) containing topocentric equatorial coordinates and orbital elements of geosynchronous satellites obtained by photographic method at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Science of Ukraine in 2005 (http://www.mao.kiev.ua/ast/astrom.htm). Our results of the identification of 20 objects from 98 observations among the total 176 observations of 57 objects are presented.

Keywords: geosynchronous satellite, orbital elements
