The Rostec State Corporation is developing new technologies for monitoring climate change. This was announced by Yuri Koptel, Managing Director of the State Corporation. He said that an important project is being developed at the Lytkarino Optical Glass Plant and the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics.
According to the project, a National Helio-Geophysical Complex will be created. It will include a radioheliograph - a special radio telescope consisting of more than 500 antennas. With its help, scientists will monitor processes on the Sun. Images will be available to specialists in high resolution.
Koptel said that the complex will have a heating stand, similar to the one installed at the academic institute in Nizhny Novgorod. The Managing Director of the State Corporation compared this stand with the HAARP project in Alaska. With its help, the Americans conducted experiments on artificial impact on the upper atmosphere.
After the completion of all work, the National Helio-Geophysical Complex will be able to predict changes in the helio-geophysical environment associated with solar activity. Scientists will be able to monitor climate changes on Earth and assess their impact on the atmosphere.
