31th IADC Meeting ESA/ESOC, Darmstadt, Germany April 17-19, 2013 ISON network development in 2012-2013 Molotov I., Agapov V. Roscosmos delegation
Directions of ISON development • Development of Kislovodsk observatory at North Caucasus • Deployment of subnetwork of extra FOV (7 degree) telescopes • Growth of subnetwork for space debris tracking • Adjusting of software for centralized scheduling of ephemerid observations
Nauchniy-1, Crimea of Ukraine – two VT-52c telescopes with FOV of 7 degree, one for HEO survey, second for extended GEO surveys
Ending of modernization of old 60-80 cm telescopes in Terskol, Sanglokh, Mayaki and Tarija
Telescopes for future installations – Andrushivka, Sinaloa, Blagoveschensk, Uzhgorod
Dedicated mini-observatory EOP-2: 65-cm, 40-cm and 4x19.2 cm telescopes
Conclusions • New ISON subsystems (from telescopes with FOV of 7 degree) started the operations • Regular trial HEO surveys are carrying out • First mini-observatory of Roscomos started the operations near Kislovodsk, North Caucasus • New ISON observatory was arranged in Khuraltogot, Mongolia • The work on modernization of four telescopes of 60-80 cm class is finished (in Bolivia, Ukraine, North Caucasus and Tajikistan) to improve the subnetwork for space debris tracking • The ephemerid observations of GEO and HEO objects are centralized scheduled now in KIAM using dedicated software tool
