An onboard surface inspection system to detect space debris impact in and near Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) is proposed in this paper. This system consists of a small camera, data handling and communication subsystem. It will be mounted on some geosynchronous satellite, and survey on surfaces of the mother satellite. When it may detect an image of crater on the surface damaged by the space debris, the image should be transmitted to ground for further analysis. Then we will able to determine physical properties of the debris impacted, i.e. size, mass and impact velocity. This type of observer will be useful to measure flux of so small debris in so high orbit, that we cannot detect them from ground-based facilities nor retrieve impacted samples from there.
