| Popis: |
Despite the ability to remove the degradation introduced by the atmospheric turbulence has dramatically improved in the last years, in particular for NGS based systems, sky-coverage is one of the major issues for ground-based observations with current and future AO-assisted telescopes. Although new LGS WFS concepts have been recently proposed to strongly improve performances, the use of LGS, to increase the limited sky-coverage, still remains a significant bottleneck, severely limiting the exploitation of the enormous capabilities of current and already planned AO instrumentation on the 8-10m class telescopes and the upcoming ELTs. The progressive advancement of AO and the advent of CubeSat technologies, have led to the possibility of providing the largest ground-based AO facilities with suitable Satellite Guide Stars (SGS) as reference, to overcome the sky-coverage problem and achieve unprecedented scientific results. This perspective has induced numerous research institutes around the world to collaborate and to propose new ambitious space programs. The Ground-based adaptive optics Observations with Orbiting Nanosatellite (GO-ON) mission aims to design, develop and launch a CubeSat pathfinder, to assist astronomical observations at the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). This mission will demonstrate, for the first time, the readiness of space and ground-based technologies and validate this new paradigm for future scientific programs with the ELTs, enabling transformative science across many fields of astrophysics. |
