Description
The European Space Agency’s Flyeye telescopes will play a crucial role in global efforts to detect and track near-Earth objects (NEOs). Inspired by the compound vision of a fly, the unique design of Flyeye-1 divides its field of view into 16 subfields, enabling the telescope to scan a wide area of the sky every night.
This talk will explore the design and development of the Flyeye-1, focusing on the current progress of integration and validation tasks underway at the ASI facility in Matera, Italy.
Additionally, the survey strategy, scheduling and provisions for data processing and photometry will be discussed in detail.
