In this research, using numerical modelling methods, it was shown that the effect of ”capturing” super-small man-made particles by the Earth's magnetic field is possible in the case of their injection into a geostationary orbit. Calculated data suggest that a large colony of geostationary satellites, as well as a larger colony of garbage objects ”buried” near geostationary orbit, can be the source of a powerful population of long-lived super-small particles of technogenic origin.
