AbstractThe goal of the paper was to determine orbital elements of an inclined, geosynchronous satellite so that the number of approaches to the real objects from the geostationary belt during its whole mission be the smallest. Two numerical simulations were performed on a time span of 3 years. They proved that less hazardous orbits are those with initial perigees lying in the vicinity of the equator (ω ≈ 0° or ω ≈ 180°), and that orbits with low eccentricities are responsible for a higher number of close approaches.
