METHOD OF THE CELESTIAL SPHERE SPACE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM FOR APPROACHING FROM THE SUN CELESTIAL BODIES DETECTION AND THREATENING COLLISION WITH THE EARTH Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B64G1/10 B64G3/00 

FIELD: astronautics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the satellite systems for the Solar system celestial bodies detection, observation and monitoring, threatening collision with the Earth. Method comprises placing two spacecrafts with telescopes T₁ (SC T₁) and T₂ (SC T₂) on the Earth's orbit (2) around the Sun (1). Both SC are rotated at a constant angular velocity around their longitudinal axes, for example, around the line connecting T₁ and T₂. Telescopes fields of view describe conical surfaces. With the celestial body (3) detection in the telescope field of view (for example, SC T₂), the of the two spacecrafts rotation is terminated, transferring the SC T₂ into the tracking mode, and the radiation receivers is into the signal recording mode, constantly directing the T₂ telescope field of view on the body (3). Orienting the second SC T₁ telescope T₁ field of view to the first SC T₂ and deploying in the plane T₁-(3)-T₂ until the body (3) appearance in the telescope T₁ field of view. Tracking the celestial body (3) by both telescopes, performing measurements to determine its orbit parameters.

EFFECT: reduction in the SC formation and increase in the system operation speed.
