The main goal of the project is to modernize the AZT-8 telescope in order to create conditions for solving both the fundamental tasks of observational astronomy and astrophysics, as well as military purposes using innovative methods. At the same time, the project aims to improve the quality of observations, simplify the operation of the telescope and preserve its ability for standard types of observations, such as astrometry, star coverage, satellite observations, including military and space debris. The final goal of the modernization of the meteor observation system includes a complex configuration that will allow simultaneously obtaining a wide-angle and detailed image of meteors and thunder discharges, connecting to the Internet for remote management and storage of observational data, as well as creating a platform for innovative student research of atmospheric and space objects in in real time, including laboratory, bachelor’s and master’s works.

OBSERVATION TOOLS, AUTOMATION, MODERNIZATION, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Research Object: Automation of astronomical optical information collection tools. Research Goal: Modernization observation tools to enable fundamental observational astronomy and astrophysics tasks, as well as military applications. Research Methods: Development of automated and remotely controlled observation systems; improvement of observation data processing methods, including the use of artificial intelligence. Results and Novelty: Development and implementation of a new structural-logical telescope control scheme. Replacement of mechanical components with new servos and hybrid stepper motors, improving accuracy and speed. A method for processing photometric data using machine learning and big data analysis was developed for automatic detection of anomalies in light curves and determination of comet nucleus rotation periods. These methods significantly enhance the results of astronomical observations. The modernization of the AZT-8 telescope allows its use for national security tasks, including satellite and space debris monitoring, as well as identifying threats in space, which is critical for Ukraine's defense capabilities. The project contributes to innovative education and scientific research in Ukraine. The creation of a platform for student research will engage young scientists in solving current problems in astronomy and astrophysics, strengthening the country's scientific potential.
