GORID

In 1996, the ESA-­funded Geostationary Orbit Impact Detector (GORID) experiment was launched into GEO on the Russian Ekspress­2 satellite on 26 September 1996. The first impacts were detected on 3 November 1996. During five years of operation, an average of 2.4 impacts/day were detected, with peak counts of 50 per day.
