SODA: A SYSTEM TO DETECT DAYTIME ASTEROIDS OF THE ``MILKY WAY'' PROJECT
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The ``Milky Way'' space safety program is under development in Russia. A part of the program implies the launch of a special spacecraft aimed to detect decameter asteroids coming from the day sky (from the sunward hemisphere) as well as to predict space weather and monitor the Sun's activity. The spacecraft will be launched to the Sun–Earth L1 point. The payload SODA (System for Observation of Daytime Asteroids) is under development at INASAN. The SODA concept is based on the results of the previous, conceptual, phase of the project. We present a general outline of SODA and give some new features in more detail. IKI RAS is responsible for the second part of the spacecraft payload related to space weather and solar activity.
