| Popis: | International audience; New data are required continuously for improving the ephemerides of Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) and artificial objects orbiting around Earth. Rapid response optical assets are ideal for the accomplishment of surveillance and tracking of these objects. The increasing importance is addressed to space debris because of the increasing of space activities during the last decade. The article continues the development of concept and realization of a mobile optical asset (Birlan et al., 2018) which will be used for both artificial objects and Near-Earth Object observations. Here we present one solution using the same mount for two telescopes pointing simultaneously the same region of the celestial sphere. Observational tests were performed for asteroid 1998NU, artificial satellites Astra 1N, the comet C/2018 Y1(Iwamoto), and the occultation of Trans-Neptunian Object (38628) Huya |
