Unistellar’s Plans for Science and Astronomy in 2022 - here's Astroguyz on science campaigns underway with Unistellar's eVscope2 and eQuinox telescopes:
. This is all part of Unistellar’s ‘planetary defense’ effort; you can’t have too many telescopes out there worldwide looking for flying space rocks.And speaking of distant objects, users have recently used Unistellar telescopes to track the James Webb Space Telescope en route to its new home at the Sun-Earth L2 Lagrange point. Nearly a million miles from the Earth, JWST moves like a distant satellite against the starry background.
This also raises the possibility of using a Unistellar telescope to track satellites in distant High Earth or geostationary/geosynchronous orbits. Finally, the eVscope has the potential to track and find comets. Already, we’ve seen users follow the fine apparitions of comet F3 NEOWISE in 2020 and A1 Leonard at the end of 2021.What’s next for Unistellar? Later this year, the team plans to lead efforts to follow an occultation of asteroid Didymos near Abu Dhabi, leading up to the impact of NASA’s DART mission on the asteroid’s tiny moon Dimorphos on September 26, 2022.
“The important part is that we’re not just a company that which is building telescopes,” says Marchis. “We see ourselves as a company that is democratizing astronomy, so people can enjoy the dark sky.
