We describe the GOCKU-2000 Catalogue (Geosynchronous Objects Catalogue: Kyiv — Uzhhorod 2000) containing the topocentric equatorial coordinates and orbital elements of geosynchronous satellites obtained by the photographic method at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Science of Ukraine and at the Space Research Laboratory of the Uzhgorod National University in 2000. (http://www.mao.kieu.ua/ast/GEO2000/kat2000.htm). The results of the identification of 100 objects from 1192 observations are presented. Using the electronic catalogue we determined the satellite ephemerides, the dependence of the equatorial coordinates, the time angle, and the longitude of subsatellite point on MJD for uncontrolled satellites. The corresponding calculations were carried out for the drifting uncontrolled satellite 95045D.
