1. A system for mapping and modeling GEO (geosynchronous) class objects, comprising:
a mapping satellite placed in a GEO class orbit in which North/South station-keeping is not maintained, wherein the mapping satellite is equipped with at least one sensor for gathering data regarding the position, bearing, and speed of GEO class objects; and
a ground station in communication with the mapping satellite, wherein the ground station uses the object data to create mapping models of the GEO class objects.
