PASO – Astronomy and Space Situational Awareness in a Dark Sky Destination
arxiv(2024)
摘要
The Pampilhosa da Serra Space Observatory (PASO) is located in the center of
the continental Portuguese territory, in the heart of a certified Dark Sky
destination by the Starlight Foundation (Aldeias do Xisto) and has been an
instrumental asset to advance science, education and astrotourism
certifications. PASO hosts astronomy and Space Situational Awareness (SSA)
activities including a node of the Portuguese Space Surveillance & Tracking
(SST) infrastructure network, such as a space radar currently in test phase
using GEM radiotelescope, a double Wide Field of View Telescope system, a EUSST
optical sensor telescope. These instruments allow surveillance of satellite and
space debris in LEO, MEO and GEO orbits. The WFOV telescope offers spectroscopy
capabilities enabling light curve analysis and cosmic sources monitoring.
Instruments for Space Weather are being considered for installation to monitor
solar activities and expand the range of SSA services.
