The characteristics of the Okno-M OEK located in Tajikistan have been improved several times.

Opportunities of the optical-electronic complex “Okno-M”, intended for the collection and processing of optical information about space objects, have increased 4 times, Interfax-AVN report of the representative of the Ministry of Defense on the EKR Troops Alexei Zolotukhin.

The characteristics of the Okno-M OEK located in Tajikistan have been improved several times.


“The commissioning of four new optical-electronic stations for the detection and collection of information, modern television equipment detection and computing tools of the new generation, created on the basis of the domestic element base, have allowed several times to increase the detecting characteristics, the bandwidth of the complex and its ability to process data about space objects in orbits in the altitude range from 120 km to 40 000 km, ”said Zolotukhin.

He recalled that the “state tests of the modernized OKE“ Okno-M ”, stationed in Tajikistan, were successfully completed at the end of 2014 of the year, and since 2015, the whole complex of“ Okno-M ”started to perform the tasks of controlling outer space within the Main Center reconnaissance of the space situation of the Space Command of the Troops of the East Kazakhstan region.

"Optical-electronic complex" Window-M "is the first specialized optical means of the space monitoring system (PSC), designed to collect information on space objects and control the geostationary region of space," - said the officer.

Currently, EKR Troops have started creating ground-based CCPs of the new generation. “In the coming 4 of the year, a network of new laser-optical and radio engineering systems for the recognition of space objects will be deployed in Russia,” said a spokesman for the Ministry of Defense.

According to him, “the commissioning of new complexes will significantly increase the capabilities of the Armed Forces of the East Kazakhstan oblast to monitor space, expand the range of controlled orbits and, in 2-3, reduce the minimum size of detectable space objects.”

    Surprise..!! Another as Putin hinted ..
    I already wrote, like that ..
    In an interview recently, Putin hinted at a "surprise" for Western "partners" .. Maybe this is the whole point? I can smell something in the stash in case of emergency ..
    It is possible that before the end of the decade we will see a domestic hypersonic, conditionally “solid fuel”, cruise missile with a range of up to 5000 kilometers, which American radars simply cannot detect. And a cherry on a cake - a week ago it was announced that Russia was deploying a network of Sky-M mobile radars that confidently capture hypersonic targets in the atmosphere. This is a breakthrough, and the breakthrough is very serious - because in addition to the hypersonic sword, we already have a shield.

          This complex is electronicallyopticHe sees well starting from evening twilight and at night. And it distinguishes between objects moving along geocentric orbits.
          Chelyabinsk meteorite flew in during the day along a low "cosmoballistic" trajectory at a terrible speed. And the window at that time was just closed (owls are sleeping during the day bully ).
          The question is different: - Did you see the flight of Chelyabinsk on February 15 on the "dark" side of the Earth, lying on a striped mattress, "partners". On March 1, they gave the final report in detail, but after the fact. But to warn -?
          PS: Allegedly, a pair of Meteosats detected an inversion trace of an unusual flying object (UFO) what actually). But there is no general methodological system for detection, assessment of possible consequences and prevention. And how many more such "guests" must fall in order for developments to appear and system also - ?

            The principle of operation is based on passive location of space objects by reflected sunlight - if the receiver "catches" the difference between solar radiation and reflected sunlight, the object is fixed (satellites often gleam)

            A warning system may and will not appear after how many years ... But what's the point? Such an object as a meteorite several meters in diameter cannot be stopped, not rejected, but there is nothing to say about larger ones. And their speed is such that they will not have time to evacuate anyone. We must get used to the idea of ​​defenselessness from a meteorite (asteroid) attack. I can only say that the probability of a fall of such large meteorites is very, incredibly small.

          Chelyabinsk entered the upper ones at the speed of 40-50 km / s

          all tracking stations are primarily geared towards satellites and nuclear warheads; they don’t see meteorites. As they say, they can detect a meteorite but nobody needs to reconfigure the stations for reasons of state security.

          As an astrophysicist by narrow specialization, I can say that a meteorite of such a size as Chelyabinsk can only be detected when it is too close. And this problem will not be solved in the sense of preventing damage - too little time. Yes and no such methods now. This is only possible in Hollywood films.

          the region was not chosen by chance; there is almost always a clear sky. And the situation is good, more coverage. Because all low-flying orbits go horizontally with different inclinations. and geostationaries can be captured more.

          Type, color revolution? There already was one in the year 1992. Although many consider Tajiks stupid, they managed to stop the civil war, mainly on their own. And the new color revolution is unlikely to drive there - China and Russia will not allow this, Tajikistan has too much strategic position, there are too many natural resources there. Tajiks still lack the mind to use their wealth properly, otherwise they would live no worse than in Kuwait.

      These systems have been there since 1988. Of course, then they, although they were worse, but surpassed everything that the probable enemy had several times. It is not for nothing that this complex (or rather, the predecessor of this complex) was very enraging to the Americans, they demanded that it be included in the offensive arms system even in negotiations, in order to demand liquidation. But they defended. I can only say, talking with people that they served there back in the days of the USSR, we do not even suspect about all the possibilities of this complex. All this pleases!

      Altai Optical Laser Center named after G.S. Titov (AOLC) is a Russian center for optical observations of artificial earth satellites. It was founded in 2004, 4,5 km from the village of Savvushka, Zmeinogorsky district, Altai Territory (near Kolyvan Lake, next to the Bolshaya Mountain). The center belongs to the Scientific and Production Corporation “Precision Instrumentation Systems”. On the basis of the center, aerospace defense forces are operating. On the territory of the center there is a ground-based optical laser system (NOLS) site where a telescope of trajectory measurements with a diameter of 60 cm is installed.

    Guys!!! But at least be realistic, and do not arrange hurray-patriotic dances with a tambourine. Our state in astronautics is, to put it mildly, below average. What we are ahead of the rest of the world is that we have more launches than our competitors and that we are now working as "taxi drivers". There is not a single serious scientific program for the study of the SS planets. On the creation and production of astronomical instruments like Kepler - no. New developments are progressing so slowly that sometimes it cannot be called a movement. Trampling. When will our new ship be out? Three or four years ago, some of the Roscosmos officials kicked themselves in the chest and shouted that in 2018 there will be the first manned ship on the new ship. Now this period has quietly and smoothly shifted to 2024. But our competitors - the United States - are developing FIVE ships, of which four are manned. Moreover, with access to manned in 2017-2021. And we keep on screaming OUR SPACE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    We put the second stage of the UES "Window" on duty - good. But it is not necessary to make an event of a universal scale out of this.

      Vladimir! That's right, our universal joy is perhaps overly optimistic, but you understand, they tried to wean us for so long proud of the country, that now even the small success of our homeland instills euphoria, confidence in the future. After experiments in humans, industry, space, our homeland was sick for a long time. Now she’s recovering, little by little, by a step, by a centimeter, and let the smiles of caring people be a little wider than the occasion that caused them. This is for simple people, they have been waiting for so long when it will be possible to be proud of the country again, by God they deserve and deserve it !!! Forgive me if I said something wrong, with respect, Yuri! hi

      Have you heard anything about Astron? And what is the use of these flights to Pluto when the oceans on Earth are studied at 2%? So the United States found the Earth’s twin, which can be reached in 4000 years? You can put monkeys in a rocket and give them a stick, you will learn to read when you arrive. And from this particular object - the country is a concrete benefit. We would have the money and the scientific resource of the United States, had already landed on Mars.

      "On the other hand, our competitors, the United States, have FIVE ships in development, of which four are manned."
      I agree with you, the Americans are ahead of us in the study of the planets of the solar system, but this lag began in the 90s, when there was a massive "brain drain" from the Allied science. But even in the most difficult conditions of Yeltsinism, the space industry still survived, which can be considered a miracle. But let's not forget that the first manned flight into space, the first manned spacewalk, the first photographs by the automatic station of the far side of the Moon - these are all the achievements of Soviet, and therefore ours with you, space science.

    Speak correctly. But at the same time, one should not make an event of universal scale from an ordinary event. Put on the database - excellent, another complex will not be superfluous. But at the same time, do not claim that COSMOS IS OUR. Do not invent what is not. Not to say that all this has no analogues. So it will be more realistic.

    That is unnecessary. Ground cover from local ultraradicals is still understandable. Air defense is useless there. Those who can destroy such a complex, and this, in principle, 1-2 countries are well aware that a blow to such an object is tantamount to a declaration of war

    Interesting:

    The complex is electronic, and the domes are protective of radiolucent material (probably).

    Does anyone know what frequency they work on? A purely technical interest: it is always called optoelectronic, but the products are not at all like telescopes. Judging by the photo, this is a transmitting device, not a Russian train.
    This means that our techies did not follow the path of amers and began to launch Ka- band radars into space. At least in this system.

I understand that the country's defense is in the first place, but why ruin the health of its citizens? If for some reason, in Soviet times, all the equipment from the test site to the station traveled in a roundabout way, but now there is simply no control, they rush along the public highway at an unimaginable speed, we are choking on the dust! And fuck where you will find the truth, Putin (Stalin) doesn't know!

    This complex is electron-optical, it sees well starting from evening twilight and at night.

    who special explain. I know that the starry sky is visible at sunny noon from a deep well. The problem is that there is no flare on the receiver. And it reminds a joke that in the sun we fly at night, so as not to burn out. Or I'm wrong, because the illumination of modern electronics is removed very easily.

    In Soviet times, such an event as "modernization" (and this is exactly what we are talking about with "Window-M") was a permanent, standard, planned phenomenon. And in today's Russia this should become a common and familiar phenomenon. So there is nothing special and no one to sing festively and sing praises. Modernized - good! But no more. For what, then, a bunch of current research institutes and research institutes are not getting small state money ???

    I served here in the 90s and early 00s. To whom it is interesting to tell. The optical object and stations are distributed in groups. That is, telescopes range from 20 to 80 km. People on the screen see a starry sky that is not subject to the human eye. The object works at night and at dusk in bright sunshine the lens shines on and by morning the work stops the domes are closed. Catch all the satellites that are in nature and make up the base. They can work on space debris. During my tests during the night, 48 new ones were caught with a definition of the trajectory and classification. according to astronomical calculations of coordinates there are no analogues in the world. (I won’t lie, but the error seems to be 0,01%) The astronomical towers are simply sheathed with a frame from corrugated board and the base itself is mounted 32 meters into the mountain ground due to the seismicity of the region. The telescope itself, a multi-ton shit, hangs above the base of the platform in oil, the thickness of the pumped station is n x10 -9 degrees and does not depend on the base, again due to the seismic effect. The telescope consists of three axes (coordinates) that are all independent of each other. As a result, the Tower consists of frame elements independent from each other, a base with a platform, a telescope (with three independent axes). In the 90s, the object was in a suspended and unfinished condition and was guarded by officers in full combat gear of the unit, in turn, as well as military engineers, the specialists additionally, together with the Krasnogorsk peasants industrialists, maintained its working condition. Life gave the object in the 99th MO Sergeyev. So he told the object to be, well, then the NDP began. The object was closely guarded. There were on-duty forces, interaction with 201msd and helicopter pilots there is a helipad. Now, not far from the object there is a presidential cottage (Rakhmonov) as the safest and most beautiful place

    You don’t even know what is there! And the main purpose of this complex is not at all what our colleagues write about it, even those who served there. There really are several sites on which equipment for monitoring near-Earth space is installed. All satellites, trajectories , garbage, etc., it’s important and necessary, but not the main thing. There is another site where even the center’s employees weren’t allowed to go. There underground power cables ran from the Nurek hydroelectric station to transfer all the power of the hydroelectric power station to one installation at a time. And NATO their constellation and the missiles to do with here ......
