Abstract
The CCD and photometric observations of the geostationary Kupon (97070A) satellite were performed using the astronomical complex of the two-meter Ritchey-Chretien-Coude telescope (Tarady, 2000) located at the Terskol peak in the Northern Caucasus at 3127 m altitude. The observations were performed at the different stages of satellite operation, namely, at launch, transition, controlled and libration orbits (Table I).
