Abstract
International Scientific Optical Network (ISON) is an open international voluntary project specializing in observations of the near-Earth space objects. Observatories collaborating with ISON provide the global coverage and successfully combine the observations of the space debris and asteroids. The network includes more than 50 telescopes of 27 observatories in 15 countries and has been working since 2005. ISON monitors the whole GEO region and tracks the objects at GEO, GTO, HEO and LEO. ISON data allowing maintenance of the database of the space objects orbits, validating space debris population model and providing conjunction assessment analysis for satellites at high orbits. ISON develops the technology of asteroid survey with small telescopes and arranges regular photometry observations of near-Earth asteroids (NEA) to investigate the YORP effect, search new binary NEAs, and support radar experiments.
Highlights
Development and research of near-Earth outer space (NES) has led to the awareness of the space threats – asteroid hazard and problems of technogenic pollution known as space debris (SD)
Goals of studying, modeling and preventing man-made threats to the implementation of space activities are more urgent than ever before. Both of these tasks are combined with an approach to their study, it requires a scientific tools of geographically distributed network of optical telescopes covering all longitudes of the globe
Obtained data used to develop a model of the probability of the near-Earth asteroids (NEA) detection in various parts of the sky (Ipatov & Elenin 2018), which will significantly increase the efficiency of the asteroid survey
