Procedures To Desing the Robotic Astronomical Observatories

Abstract

Robotic Astronomical Observatories (RAO) are constantly evolving. Optical observations of astronomy advanced very rapidly during the twentieth century, to become data captures and images that cover almost the entire range of the electromagnetic spectrum. This evolution that has always been linked to astrophysical research continues to advance and can now cover other celestial objects of a very diverse nature, such as artificial satellites and space debris. In addition to Astrophysics, the RAO are called to carry out work of detection and tracking of extraterrestrial objects created by the human being. These new objectives of the ROA are carried out with exclusive models and specific designs such as those shown in this work. To achieve this purpose, RAOs need a well-organized and precise design, in which all the factors that make up the project are optimized: Objectives, Engineering, Technical Equipment, Facilities, Training, Operations and Maintenance.
