Roskosmos considers Latin American countries as locations for space tracking stations

Roskosmos intends to increase the number of stations for tracking the warning system about dangerous situations in orbit; not only the territory of Russia, but also other countries, including those in Southeast Asia, Latin America, Africa and Antarctica, are considered as locations.

At the initial stage, the Research and Production Corporation "Systems of Precision Instrumentation" will carry out modeling, which will determine the most suitable locations for future stations of the automated warning system for dangerous situations in near-Earth space. At the second stage, based on the simulation results, a decision will be made on the location and construction of the stations themselves will be carried out.

To date, as part of the warning system for dangerous situations, there are several stations in Russia, in particular in the region of Kislovodsk, Ussuriysk and in the Krasnodar Territory, two stations are located outside of Russia - in Armenia and Brazil. However, this number is not enough to fully control the near-Earth space, therefore, options for the construction of additional stations are being considered.

Among the proposed locations, in addition to the territory of Russia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Indonesia, Vietnam, Kiribati, Cape Verde, Madagascar, Ethiopia, Ecuador, Mexico, Chile, Brazil and Cuba are considered. It is also proposed to place tracking stations on Svalbard and Bellingshausen station in Antarctica.

The expansion of the system will make it possible to observe not only near-Earth space, but also asteroids and comets. For the period 2019-2022, Roskosmos planned to spend about 1,5 billion rubles to maintain the operation of the ground complex of the automated warning system for dangerous situations in near-Earth outer space.

half can be safely crossed out

I think the best places to watch from space are Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela

[Flooding]

Vietnam must be returned
Mexico is very interesting for the future
with Ethiopia would be great, but there is a lot of work to be done
here you can’t get rid of tracking stations alone

Ethiopia would be great

No, there is no need to go into Ethiopia now, Eritrea has achieved independence after many years of war, now the province of Tigray is at war with the central authorities, it also wants to break away, and in Egypt knives are being sharpened because of a dam across the Nile, which threatens to shallow the Nile in Egypt. Let it settle down there for now, then we'll see.

We need countries with high seismic activity.
Steal a few lard and say that the earthquake ruined everything

Quote: Anatol Klim

no need to go to Ethiopia now

it is necessary to climb, but not to start from the tracking stations
if we wait until they themselves settle problems in relations with their neighbors, then we will lose the last remnants of the Soviet war in the region.

while they still exist, they should be used in resolving the conflict with Egypt.

The priority now is Ukraine, let the Ethiopians wait for now, they don’t fight with outstretched fingers.

okay
since you insist
throw all your strength on Ukraine
I don't think one excludes the other.

And the best tracking complex is "Peresvet"

The best place to watch from space, there will be space itself.
And for tracking beyond space Ecuador or Chile are best - neutral countries with good NLM altitudes and clear weather.

If there is a place on the equator that has perfect weather, it is Loja, a small (130 thousand people) town in Ecuador. It is located in the mountains (2,4 thousand meters), which is why the climate there is mild all year round, without the deadly heat in summer and cold nights in winter. The average annual temperature fluctuates around 22 degrees Celsius.

In Tajikistan, the Window object was built back in the 80s and is now in operation, in Argentina they looked after a place for a robotic telescope, in Bolivia there are contacts since 1986 (Halley's comet was observed with a local university. In general, the most important thing for such a point is a good dry climate in the highlands so as not to sit most of the year under the clouds, even if it is a radio technical point - precipitation and lightning discharges will be a hindrance.

Right now, the states of the comrades will raise the howl). 100% will report wiretapping, etc.

[Daniil Konovalenko]

Venezuela and Nicaragua are not on the list ...

[APASUS]

I also think that we need to place a couple more silo-based missiles complete with an observation complex. Different things happen in space. The Americans are deploying an air defense system from North Korean missiles in Europe and we need to put a couple of Poplars in Venezuela, in space they say something happens

There are different things in space.

Exactly!!! Like REN TV, I’ll look under vodka, I immediately see ... they’re flying !!!

and we need to put a couple of Poplars in Venezuela,

As a defense against Somali pirates

[Ryaruav]

And when they had the largest space fleet and no one had to bow to anyone

[Paranoid50]

Quote: Ryaruav

once had the largest space fleet

Yes. But something remains: two heavy Destroyers are now settling on Alpha Cetnavra, and the Death Star has been mothballed in the Andromeda Nebula. They will be included in the next state armament program.

[Ryaruav]

refers to the fleet of ships for tracking and communication with space objects

[Knell wardenheart]

In Chile, it seems, we had facilities.

It never happened. Pinochet ruled there. Fashington henchman

[Knell wardenheart]

Hmm..meaning. confused with Argentina. I read a few years ago about how they came to restore the work of some kind of complex in the South American highlands. It was a sad article..

[Seryoga64]

Quote: Knell Wardenheart

confused with Argentina. H

Not in Argentina either. In South America, only Cuba was

[Amateur]

And there is also an unfinished KRT-70 radio telescope with a 70-meter dish in Uzbekistan (Supa, Zaamin)

[zadorin1974]

There was Victor, there was. It was easier and cheaper to demolish the remains and build in a new way. All high-tech facilities that went to the local "highly educated dekhkans" were looted and destroyed. The same is true in Kyrgyzstan (Crystal plant) Yes, in general, almost everywhere in the post-Soviet space.

The expansion of the system will make it possible to observe not only near-Earth space, but also asteroids and comets.

And at the same time behind the actions of a potential enemy in near and far space.
It's time.

[Dizel200]

And always with a military base with vigorous missiles, purely for protection

[llsamsonll]

As I understand it, they will be placed in a place with mines for ballistic binoculars)

[Alexander Salenko]

By the way, this is great, especially since formally the stations can be civilian and what kind of science we are, we are developing astronomy. During the Cold War, we have a completely civilian civilian observatory in the Crimea in the Bakhchisarai district in the village of Nauchny was a secure facility.

[keeper03]

So this should have been done the day before yesterday!
