                           ABSTRACT

In the framework of its space debris research activities ESA established an optical survey program to study the space debris environment at high altitudes, in particular in the geostationary ring and in the geostationary transfer orbit region. The Astronomical Institute of the University of Bern (AIUB) performs these surveys on behalf of ESA using ESA's 1-meter Telescope in Tenerife. We will briefly summarize this program and the main results. The main part of the presentation will be dedicated to a discussion of the observation techniques used, including the survey scenarios, the object detection techniques and the correlation procedures.
