Abstract Long-period evolution of the orbital elements of geosynchronous objects moving in the neighborhood of separatrices of the region of libration resonance is studied. At the phase plane “the longitude of the subsatellite point-semi-major axis” the regions of migration of separatrices where the separatrices can move due to the influence of perturbations are isolated. The dimensions of these regions and the distances between them have the same order of magnitude, several kilometers along the semi-major axis. The regions of migration do not overlap at the initial value of the orbit inclination 0°. When inclination increases, gradual overlapping of these regions takes place. On average, the width of the zones of stochasticity increases when the area to mass ratio increases and decreases when inclination of the orbit increases. The zones of stochasticity corresponding to different separatrices are separated from each other. A catalog of the passive geosynchronous objects moving in the neighborhood of separatrices is compiled. The evolution of the objects of the catalog is studied.
