Abstract
The difference in the sizes of coverage areas of geostationary lightning detectors manufactured by specialists from different national space agencies is explained. The creation in the near future of a full-fledged geostationary constellation equipped with such detectors is predicted. New promising tasks for such constellation, not included in the NASA list for a single geostationary detector, have been proposed: monitoring in dual-use systems; using lightning as a source of electromagnetic waves in studies of plasma processes in the ionosphere; planetary monitoring of mega lightning.
