Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The description of an optical complex at the Assy-Turgen Observatory (Kazakhstan) is given. This complex is suited for astrometric and photometric observations of active and passive objects (small-size space debris included) in geostationary orbits. It may be used to reveal, identify, and track potentially hazardous objects (asteroids and comets). The results of test observations are presented.
