"If we join the potential of the Byurakan observatory with the Russian
innovations, we shall get a unique telescope", - representative of
the Applied Mathematics Institute after Keldysh under Russian Academy
of Science, Igor Molotov said to ArmInfo correspondent.
He also added the Armenian observatory has a potential for
full restoration and starting of normal functioning according to
international standards. Moreover, one of the two biggest telescopes
at the territory of the former USSR is located at the Armenian
observatory. It will be upgraded and will become the first unique
telescope.
Molotov said that the upgrading programme has two key goals: the
applied and scientific. "The scientific goal is to study space debris
like a space phenomenon, that is to say, the study of the small size
parts of the space debris and searching of dangerous asteroids. The
applied goal is to calculate all the paths of motion and objects
we watch, and calculate the danger of coming closer of the Russian
sputniks and space debris", - he said.
Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics (Russian Academy of Sciences)
was founded in 1953 to solve complex mathematical problems involved in
national projects of space exploration, atomic and thermonuclear energy
application, etc. This goal was meant to be achieved by developing
and using appropriate computer hardware and software facilities. The
Institute founder and first director (1953-1978) was President of the
USSR Academy of Sciences Mstislav Keldysh. Since its first years the
Institute activity oriented to solving large scale applied problems is
based on the results of fundamental scientific research in mathematics,
mechanics, cybernetics, informatics, etc.
Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory(BAO) was founded in 1946 on the
initiative of academician Victor Ambartsumian, who became the first
director of the observatory. It is located on the picturesque southern
slope of the mountain Aragatz. At the observatory five observational
instruments are installed the larger ones being 2.6 m Cassegrain
telescope and 1m Schmidt telescope. Scientific researches of the
observatory are related mainly with the instability phenomena taking
place in the Universe. Since 1946 numerous scientific meetings were
held in Byurakan including four symposia and a colloquium of the IAU.
