Russian researchers have created an innovative system for recognizing the types of artificial satellites in Earth's orbit directly from our planet. This was announced at the SPIEF by a member of the Coordination Council for Youth Affairs in the scientific and educational spheres of the Council under the President of the Russian Federation for Science and Education, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Head of the Laboratory of Neural Network Systems of the Research Institute of MVS SFU, Anatoly Kalyaev.
Our university is developing a unique system for identifying artificial Earth satellites located in low orbit (up to 2,000 km from the surface).
The system consists of an optical telescope with an automatic object guidance and tracking system, as well as algorithms for processing large amounts of data and specialized equipment. The system instantly determines the type of object.
This is very important for understanding what exactly is moving in our orbits, as no one has complete information today.
Russia is building a new 120-ton solar telescope-coronagraph. KCT-3 will include a 30-meter telescope tower, a building for technological equipment, laboratory and administrative premises. The telescope will be installed on a rotating platform at the top of the tower. The diameter of its mirror will be 3 meters, and the total height of the structure will reach 42 meters.
