  1. Russian Academy of Sciences Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics International collaboration as a primary way for the ISON network development Igor Molotov, Vladimir Agapov 63rd International Astronautical Congress, Naples, Italy, October 1-5, 2012

  2. International Scientific Optical Network (ISON) • Open non-government scientific project having goals – to provide reliable scientific output on space debris, asteroids and GRB afterglows – to support the astronomical observatories of Former Soviet Union (FSU) countries and to involve amateur astronomers in scientific activities – to improve the international collaboration between FSU observatories and scientific organization in other countries • Cooperation already joins 51 telescopes in 33 observation facilities of various affiliation (Academy of Sciences, Universities, Scientific Institutions, Commercial Companies, Privates) coordinated by the Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences (KIAM)

  3. ISON International Cooperation • ISON collaborates now with institutions of 14 countries - Armenia, Bolivia, Georgia, Mexico, Moldova, Mongolia, Italy, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Tajikistan, Ukraine, USA, Uzbekistan • Negotiations are carried out with organizations of 10 countries - Argentina, China, Japan, Ireland, Kazakhstan, Korea, South Africa, Turkmenistan, Venezuela, Vietnam

  4. UN-ISON program • ISON joins to UN Basic Space Science Initiative • Outreach seminar in Vienne in June 11, 2012 during 55th session of COPUOS

  5. International scientific optical network

  6. Forms of collaboration with ISON • Joint observation campaigns to exchange the obtained results • Providing of software, elaborated under ISON project for further coordinated activities • Installation of ISON telescopes to share the data • Modernization of non-operational obsolete telescopes • Production of telescope under grant for future joint observations • Access to ISON orbital data base • Serviceon conjunction analysis • Participation in UN supported ISON conferences

  7. Joint observation campaigns to exchange the obtained results Joint observationcampaigns with 1 m telescope of Zimmerwald observatory of AIUB are carried out since 2004

  8. Providing of software, elaborated under ISON project for further coordinated activities ISON provided the APEX software for CCD frame processing and prepares survey schedules for the team of 50 cm telescope Fabra ROA Montsec project with FOV of 4.4 deg near Barselona in 2011.

  9. Standard ISON telescopes that may be installed to share the data:19.2-cm (7 deg), 25-cm (3.5 deg), 40-cm (1 deg.)

  10. Installation of ISON telescopes to share the data and analysis • Russian-Italian (Rome University) project FIRST is realized in 2009 • Russian-Mexican (University of Sinaloa) project is realized in 2012

  11. Production of telescope under grant for future joint observations 40-cm (2.3 deg), 50-cm (1.8-2.5 deg), 65-cm (1.8 -2.6), 80-cm is in elaboration

  12. Production of telescope under grant for future joint observations • 50-cm telescope is produced under grant of Moscow Physical-Technical Institute in 2008 • 40-cm telescope is produced under grant of Mongolian Academy of Sciences in 2012

  13. Production of telescope under grant for future joint observations • 6 mini-observatories (4 EOP-1 and 2 EOP-2) and 3 separate telescopes are produced under grant of Roscosmos • First EOP-1 in Kislovodsk started regular observations in July 2012 and already discovered cometC/2012 S1 (ISON)

  14. Planned positions of mini-observatories and separate telescopes under Roscosmos grant

  15. Modernization of non-operational obsolete telescopes • Modernization of 60-cm Zeiss-600 in Tarija (Bolivia) and Sanglok (Tajikistan), 80-cm telescopes in Terskol and Mayaki Start of modernization of 2.6-m ZTA and 1-m AZT-10 in Byurakan (Armenia)

  16. Access to ISON orbital data baseServiceon conjunction analysis • ISON/KIAM is already involved in Roscosmos’s ASPOS OKP project (Automated System for Prediction and Warning on the dangerous situations in the near-Earth space) and provides conjunction analysis for Electra-L and Luch-5A GEO satellites • It is planned that open partial database on space debris objects will be elaborated under UN-ISON collaboration

  17. Access to ISON orbital data baseServiceon conjunction analysis • Negotiations are started with National Space Centre in Ireland about arranging joint database for conjunction analysis

  18. Participation in UN supported ISON conferences • ISON arranges the conferences and workshops on regular basis (6 meetings were to the date) • It is planned that next ISON meetings will be supported by UN

  19. Latest ISON update • Adjustment of faint fragment surveys • Start of surveys of high-elliptical objects • New subsystem for tracking bright GEO and HEO objects and the software for automatic ephemerid observations (similar to survey schedules) is elaborated and tested • Starting the creation of new subsystem for LEO objects observations from telescopes with FOV of 12x10 degree

  20. Adjustment of faint fragment survey • Installation of CCD camera with 50-mm chip at 50-cm ORI-50 telescope resulted in 2.5x2.5 deg FOV and provided ability to cover fields with the highest density of known fragment trajectories • Ussuriysk ORI-50 participated in discovering of about 100 non-catalogued objects during 2011

  21. Start of surveys of high-elliptical objects • 19.2 cm VT-78e and 18 cm VT-52c telescopes with 7x7 degree FOV are installed in Sanglok and Nauchny-1 • Sanglok carries out extended GEO survey (14000 measurements in 2000 tracks for 700 objects per a survey, including up to 150 HEO objects) • Nauchniy-1 – both extended GEO survey and targeted survey of HEO objects

  22. New subsystems for LEO and HEO objects observations
