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
ISON observatories that were (will be) upgraded
Observatory ISON-Kislovodsk,
North Caucasus
Khureltogot observatory in
Mongolia
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
