Specialists from the Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics (IPM) of the Russian Academy of Sciences have launched a new telescope in Altai. Thanks to it, scientists will be able to better predict dangerous approaches in space.
This is a high-precision means of monitoring space objects, including operational spacecraft. Thanks to the telescope, researchers will be able to better monitor dangerous approaches.
The IPM RAS was created to solve computational problems associated with government nuclear and thermonuclear power programmes, as well as for the study of space and rocket systems. In the autumn, the institute announced the creation of a unified classifier of dangerous events occurring in Earth orbits.
Recall that last year Russia signed an agreement to deploy a station in Africa that will search for space debris. Thanks to it, potentially dangerous objects in low, medium and high Earth orbits will be identified. The information obtained will be transmitted to the data collection and processing centre.
The station will be the second such complex: the first was commissioned in 2017. It was built in Brazil, on the territory of the Pico dos Dias Observatory.
