Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that commercial communications satellites in GEO are constantly monitored by ground telescopes?

Yes. Resident space objects in geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO) are regularly tracked and monitored using ground-based optical and radar facilities.

The analysis

The retrieved papers document the ongoing use of ground-based telescopes and radar systems for space situational awareness and tracking resident space objects, including those in geosynchronous orbit. No papers refute the claim, so the verdict is SUPPORTED.
