Artificial Satellites


The 1m telescope in our observatory can track artificial satellites.
We took the images of Mir, International Space Station(ISS) and Space Shuttle : they are the limited targets we can resolve their shape.

For the future, we are going to take pictures of ISS every time it will increase the modules.
