Descrizione
Following our first successful results obtained during the ERC Synergy grant, we
propose to develop a novel software (at the level 6) that allows the simultaneously
operation of several telescopes and scientific instruments. It will form a firm base for
future autonomous observatories. The software will allow to collect data with higher
quality and will increase the observing efficiency by 20 – 30%. Therefore, the costs
of very expensive missions could be reduced by up to 50%.
This software will have a strong impact on many scientific projects including satellite
missions and huge ground-based surveys. It will be also very useful in other missions
related to sky surveillance, detecting tracking and imaging space debris, satellites,
detecting near earth asteroids – one of the most important and challenging problems
for the society. Finally, our product has a big potential to operate telescopes used for
teaching students, outreach, and private persons. With our science-level software
such observations could be done in a more “user friendly” and professional way.
Therefore, it offers the unique opportunity for a wide group of citizens to participate
in professional scientific projects creating a strong link between astronomers and
society.
