Features of Designing a Star Catalog for Orientation Sensors of Space Vehicles
Avanesov, G. A.; Elyashev, Ya. D.
A brief history of the creation of star orientation sensors at the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI RAS) and star catalogs for them is presented. An experiment carried out in the early 1970s on synchronous photography of stars and the Earth's surface from the manned stations Salyut-2 and -3 is described. The difficu…
Astrometric and photometric observations of solar system bodies with Pulkovo Observatory's automatic mirror astrograph ZA-320M
Gorshanov, D. L.; Kouprianov, V. V.; Devyatkin, A. V. +3 more
A brief description of the process of astrometric and photometric observations and their processing by an automatic complex, based on Pulkovo Observatory’s ZA-320M telescope, is presented. The basic results of astrometric and photometric observations of Solar System bodies obtained during 1997-2007 are given. They include, in particular, the resul…
Reduction of photographic observations of asteroids to the reference frame of a single catalog
Chernetenko, Yu. A.
In 2000, the last international program of photographic observations of selected asteroids aimed at the determination of the mutual orientation of the dynamic and stellar coordinate systems came to an end. The Institute of Applied Astronomy of the Russian Academy of Sciences collected more than 25 000 observations for 15 asteroids spanning from 19…
