Toward Autonomous Observatories

Objective

Following our first successful results obtained during the ERC Synergy grant, we
propose to develop a novel software (at the level 6) that allows the simultaneously
operation of several telescopes and scientific instruments. It will form a firm base for
future autonomous observatories. The software will allow to collect data with higher
quality and will increase the observing efficiency by 20 – 30%. Therefore, the costs
of very expensive missions could be reduced by up to 50%.
This software will have a strong impact on many scientific projects including satellite
missions and huge ground-based surveys. It will be also very useful in other missions
related to sky surveillance, detecting tracking and imaging space debris, satellites,
detecting near earth asteroids – one of the most important and challenging problems
for the society. Finally, our product has a big potential to operate telescopes used for
teaching students, outreach, and private persons. With our science-level software
such observations could be done in a more “user friendly” and professional way.
Therefore, it offers the unique opportunity for a wide group of citizens to participate
in professional scientific projects creating a strong link between astronomers and
society.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Host institution

CENTRUM ASTRONOMICZNE IM. MIKOLAJA KOPERNIKA POLSKIEJ AKADEMII NAUK
Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
