Observational sessions to search space debris objects with unknown orbital parameters were carried out on the new 1.6-meter AZT-33VM telescope at the Sayan observatory of ISTP SB RAS in 2016-2017. Observations were conducted in the survey mode in the region of the geostationary orbit. Statistical parameters of the space debris population were studied during the first observational session. In the second session the objects were tracked after discoveries and further coordinate measurements were done to more precise determination of the orbital parameters. 55 uncorrelated objects were detected during that session. Additional measurements on the interval no less than three nights were obtained for 29 objects. For these objects orbital elements and area-to-mass ratios were determined. Results and analysis of the photometric and trajectory characteristics of the discovered objects are given in the study.
