A concept of cost-saving space system designed for the detection of NEOs (EKOZONT)

In recent years many countries put effort to build systems to detect and to monitor near Earth objects (NEOs) with a size down to 100m that could lead to catastrophic results in case of collision with the Earth. EKOZONT is a concept of cost-effective space system designed for the detection of NEOs d...

Description
Summary:In recent years many countries put effort to build systems to detect and to monitor near Earth objects (NEOs) with a size down to 100m that could lead to catastrophic results in case of collision with the Earth. EKOZONT is a concept of cost-effective space system designed for the detection of NEOs down to size of 100 m not later than 15-25 days before the possible collision with the Earth.
