Magnetometer-based detection and characterization of space objects in geosynchronous orbit is motivated and challenges are discussed. Observable constants of motion with and without charge screening are derived in detail. A novel application of orbit and detection constraints is used to generate admissible region boundaries for unobservable states, allowing initial orbit determination and data association of space objects passing near magnetometers. Practical and operational issues are discussed in detail.
