Kozyryev Y. Application of the combined observation method for catalogue of positions of low Earth orbit space objects

Dissertation is dedicated to the application of new methods of positional observations of low Earth orbit space objects with fixed telescope using the combined CCD-observation method and original imaging modes. The frame accumulation with shift mode was suggested for television CCD cameras. In comparison with direct accumulation mode suggested mode has no exposure limiting on object apparent speed. The short drift-scan mode was suggested for full-frame CCD cameras. In comparison with classical use of drift-scan mode suggested mode allows to use exposure time less than the time of object passage through the telescope field of view. Observations of low Earth orbit space objects were carried out and catalogue of positions was created. Random and systematic errors of obtained positions of low Earth orbit space objects were estimated.
