Space Situational Awareness
With tens of thousands of objects orbiting the earth, this poses potential threat to the space programs, including satellites path and future launches. Space Situational Awareness (SSA) refers to keeping track of objects in orbit and predicting where they will be at any given time.
Software
With our software solutions, include some of the most accurate SSA tools in the market, which includes the orbit determination and conjunction analysis tools. The tools will enable the operators to detect and assess potential collisions by tracking and locating the space objects, assisting in the assets maneuvering, and evaluating the degree of risk.
This will enable the operators to use these same tools to improve the quality of the data you collect by simulating the design and coordination of tracking systems that incorporate ground, space, sea, and air assets.
Telescope
One of ASTELCO’s primary fields is the design and construction of state-of-the-art robotic Alt-Az telescopes. High-dynamic torque motors, combined with either hydrostatic or high precision roller bearings and the most accurate encoder systems are used to design and manufacture telescopes with unsurpassed pointing and tracking accuracy. Slewing speeds of up to ~40°/sec vastly extend the range of astronomical applications.
With our state-of-the-art telescopes, it is possible to observe objects in rapidly changing sequence; within a few seconds from a stand-by position every object in the sky can be reached. Our High-dynamic torque motors, combined with either hydrostatic or high precision roller bearings and the most accurate encoder systems are used to design and manufacture telescopes with unsurpassed pointing and tracking accuracy.
Turn-key
We can provide complete turn-key solutions for observatories consisting of: Telescope(s), pier, platform, telescope foundation, building/control room, dome/enclosure, subsystems like weather sation, GPS, All-Sky Cam, UPS Power supplies, and of course installation, commisssioning and customer training.
