Due to the orbital particularity of the Geostationary Orbit(GEO), there are many key node satellites of the spacebased network of many countries on the GEO and it is of great significance to track and observe the GEO belt residents. This paper gives analyses on status of the spacebased observations of the United States and the Canada based on the recent foreign approaches and technologies for the observations of the GEO belt. First, this paper argues the advantages of the spacebased optical imaging observations from the perspectives of space angel and coverage. Then the research status and deficiencies of the spacebased optical imaging observations for GEO objects based on the studies of the United States and the Canada are analysed. Finally, it gives the development trend of the spacebased optical imaging of the GEO objects.
