Visit at the Flyeye Telescope

Media visit at the OHB Italia Premises organised in coordination with ESA and ASI to discover the Flyeye Telscope. ESA’s Flyeye Telescope, the first of its kind, will permit to implement an innovative wide survey Earth protection service, allowing to check two thirds of the visible sky to be surveyed nightly, for detection of threatening asteroids dangerous for Earth. The Telescope will be located in Sicily (Italy), close to the top of Mufara Mountain (1865m). Once operative, it will automatically bring newly detected objects to the attention of ESA experts at the Near-Earth Object Coordination Centre (NEOCC).
