The SCC “Window” in Tajikistan, after modernization, “sees” space objects at a distance of 50 thousand km

After upgrading, the Russian optical-electronic complex of the space monitoring system "Okno" in Tajikistan, after modernization, can detect objects at a distance of more than 50 thousand km, reports RIA News a message from Andrei Ivashin, deputy commander of the Space Forces of the Russian Space Forces, on testing,.

"Complex SKKP" Window "in its tactical and technical characteristics was able to detect space objects at a distance of 40 thousands of kilometers. It should be noted that after the modernization carried out in 2014 year, the capabilities of the complex for detecting space objects increased significantly - it can detect objects at a distance more than 50 thousands of kilometers in the field of view ”, - said Ivashin on the radio "Life # Sound".

He also noted that at present "the space forces are taking measures to create a group of modern radar, radio-optical, radio-technical, optical-electronic complexes, as well as to modernize the existing specialized means of space monitoring."

“In the Karachay-Cherkess Republic, the modernization of the Krona radio-optical complex has been completed. Successfully conducted state tests of the optical-electronic complex "Sight" in the Altai Territory. Further development of space monitoring tools is aimed at improving the information capabilities of the system, ”the colonel said.

“The main tasks defined for the main center of intelligence of the space situation are the continuous analysis of the space situation; maintaining the Main Catalog of Space Objects; identifying facts of possible dangerous convergence of domestic spacecraft with space objects, ”the deputy commander added.

Help Agency: "The complex of the SSC" Window ", deployed in Tajikistan, is intended for detecting space objects in the field of view, determining the parameters of their movement, obtaining the photometric characteristics of space objects and issuing information about them to the PSC center."

Yes, 50 thousands of kilometers - this is of course, a great result. We hope that the protection of such a valuable object is at the proper level, but the Basmachis in Tajikistan have not yet been completely uprooted.

ABM is now a priority .. And the "long arm" is being prepared, "Nudol" is being tested. Of course, only political centers will cover it, but during the Soviet Union the entire territory was not covered either, all this is incredibly expensive ..

[Vz.58]

50 000 km, the distance is huge, but how big should the object be in order for the Window to detect this object at that distance.
Judging by the photo, "Window" is located in a mountainous area, so you can observe objects only in a certain spatial cone (I don't know how to write it in Russian correctly). If an attacking object or a falling, flying, from deep space or from a circumlunar orbit, at a speed of 11 km / second is detected at a distance of 50 km, 000 minutes remain until the moment of falling. A lot will have to be done in these 72 minutes. Transfer information about the detected object somewhere, try to determine what kind of object it is, determine the level of danger, the approximate place of the fall, contact potential "partners" so as not to start an atomic war in the heat of the moment and give an order to the missile defense and air defense systems to destroy the object. Or not to give such an order.
It is necessary to create an orbital grouping of remote space monitoring. There is no atmosphere in orbit. Devices will be much further to see.
Where can I get the money? Ask your oligarchs and leaders of different ranks "crystal clear on hand". Sometimes it doesn't hurt to "shake the fundamentals" so that the money pours in

[UnclePasha]

This system is not designed to detect attacking BR !!! For this there is a missile attack warning system !!!!

[Krabik]

This is the "Eye" for monitoring objects in orbits, and not issuing target designations for missile defense.

Why is it just "our" then? If you defend the entire planet, then all "oligarchs and leaders of different ranks," crystal clear on hand "". I do not defend ours, I "kakbe" hint that in any country there are many who can "shake the money" who are not entirely clean both in moral and ethical and officially legal order, amassed their capital.
There is no point in making dirty allusions about the "purity" of Western capital. Ours are pale tracing paper from senior comrades.
So if you throw off - then the whole "non-poor" world. Including Czech ..

The object has always been Russian ... no one has ever considered it the property of Tajikistan (initially there were enough brains on strategic objects to make a list and leave for Russia under the division ... exactly like the Strategic Missile Forces divisions in Kazakhstan, Belarus) ... the rent is partially paid (again on a contractual basis) to pay off debts ... and partly in money to support the government

[Joker787]

the facility became the property of Russia after the memorable visit of President Vladimir Putin to Dushanbe in October 2004, when the presidents signed an agreement. The transfer of Nurek into the ownership of the Russian Federation and the consent of Tajikistan, together with Russia and Iran, to complete and operate the Sangtuda hydroelectric power station on the Vakhsh river, completed the process of settling Dushanbe's debt to Moscow. Later, during the visit to Tajikistan of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergei Ivanov in 2005, the OEC "Okno" took over the ownership of Russia.

You do not confuse equipment and property rights. Tajikistan is a sovereign power. Here is an example. On December 9, 2012, Russia suspended the operation of the Gabala radar station because the parties did not agree on the rental value - Baku first wanted to increase it to $ 15 million and then to $ 300 million. In 2013, all equipment was dismantled and exported to Russia, Russian troops left the garrison, and the facility was transferred to Azerbaijan

In fact, the “Window” is two objects. One - a military camp - is located
directly in Nurek. And here is another, where, actually, there is a combat duty, is located
in the mountains at an altitude of 2,2 thousand meters. Duty shifts there takes a special bus.

Well, what are you doing, where is scientific objectivity? Even after the deployment of the entire system of four centers, this will be only a small fraction of the American system, which employs about 30 radars and optical devices located at 16 sites around the world. Data is duplicated today at three independent data processing centers, and the GEODSS system, Already passed the fifth upgrade and countless updates. If we delve deeper into the essence of the work of this observation cluster, we clung to the buffer of the last carriage, and slowly try to gain a foothold on it.

Unfortunately, we are still being "milked". Everything that was built in the USSR has now become objects of trade with Russia.
- "Baikonur" in Kazakhstan,
- "Gabola" in Azerbaijan (replaced in Armavir).
- "Window" in Tajikistan,
- Communication system, radar "Volga" (with submarine fleet) - in Belarus,
- Navy base on the lake. Issyk-Kul.
"Friends, friends, and tobacco apart." Therefore, it is time to conclude that all new military facilities, including military-industrial complex plants, should be built only on the territory of Russia. As far as I remember, an analogue of the Tajik "Window" is being built in Altai.

[Sagittarius]

Of course, it is best when such structures are located on the territory of Russia, but, as they say, not all at once, gradually such a task will be solved in the future.

I will add to the heap: in Uzbekistan, on the Maidanak mountain, a similar complex of two 1-meter telescopes AZT-24A and AZT-24E was "privatized" by the Uzbek Ministry of Defense. Both instruments are rumored to rust quietly.

With all due respect to you, let's save the reader from unnecessary obscure terms that they can’t systematize using Google. If we meet on the subject at any conference, we can discuss in detail. But the general picture is this, the observation of outer space is echeloned in nature, where one method is cross-checked by another, it is also analyzed in different systems and if the result does not match, they immediately produce several possible results. Russia has yet to reach a similar level. I don’t really see even what can be thrown with hats, even on a remote line of sight.

[grandfather_Kostya]

Not only the size of the celestial body (satellite) is important, but also its "design". It can be white as pure ice and black as anthracite, or covered with a dark matte paint, or shine with golden screen-vacuum thermal insulation. Sometimes the "sunbeam" from solar panels will sparkle. 37 years ago I worked on geostationary objects and I remember that civilian satellites were usually several tens of times brighter than military (American) ones.

If we abstract and strain our imagination, then outwardly "Window" resembles a film set for the next series of "Star Wars" or another fantastic blockbuster.

Unusual buildings shimmering in the sun, inconspicuous technical rooms of no less interest - all this is surrounded by a fence, and there is not a soul around. So you expect that some intergalactic starship will now land ... However, there is one truthful detail in all this obsession - the whole "life" of the object on which you are is really inextricably linked with space.

In order to get here, it is necessary to exhaust more than one hundred "horsepower": the mountain road is not subject to every car, the very location of the complex has been chosen so that you will not accidentally get here. And when you find yourself among these giant silver balls, you hardly want to leave here. And the curiosity is not so much these bizarre aggregates as the nature, which opens up a view from the height of the object. Needless to say, if in the same area at a distance of direct visibility - 800-900 meters from the Russian super-secret military facility - the dacha of the President of Tajikistan is located.


In this territory, Space Forces have been serving for 25 years.

Both the town with Russian military telescopes and the territory of Emomali Rakhmonov’s summer cottage are located on a small mountain patch surrounded by impassable gorges. This is the highest place (2200 meters above sea level) in the Sanglok mountains. Nurek (68 km southeast of Dushanbe), where Tajiks, Russian specialists and the military live peacefully, the dam of the Nurek hydroelectric station with an artificial sea, along which boats sail, is clearly visible from it. And here there is one single road, it is reliably guarded by Russian soldiers. So nothing threatens the head of Tajikistan, who is resting at his dacha.

If an attacking object or a falling, flying, from deep space or from a circumlunar orbit, at a speed of 11 km / second is detected at a distance of 50 km, 000 minutes remain until the moment of falling. A lot will have to be done in these 72 minutes. Transfer information about the detected object somewhere, try to determine what kind of object it is, determine the level of danger, the approximate place of the fall, contact potential "partners" so as not to start an atomic war in the heat of the moment and give an order to the missile defense and air defense systems to destroy the object. Or not to give such an order.

Space telescopes and those on Earth have radically different functions. A single US Hubble telescope worth trillions can do a lot. But maintaining it in the right orbit, constant evolution with re-targeting and stabilization of the position require a very large potential propulsion system. And refueling with fuel and oxidizer. Automatic mode without human intervention has never been used. Maintenance and repair costs as much as putting it into orbit. Results. A hundred thousand beautiful pictures of the most distant corners of the Universe taken over a dozen years are not what is needed to organize protection from meteorites. Observation of the sphere around the Earth. In real time. How do you think to do this with space telescopes? How many do you need? where to place them and how to work with them?
