Abstract
The growth in numbers of commercial communications satellites in geosynchronous orbit raises the possibilities for radio frequency interference into space-earth transmission systems due to a malfunctioning satellite and of physical damage to an operating satellite due to collision with co-orbiting objects. These possibilities are addressed and recommendations are presented to minimize such occurrences.
