نظام آخر إنذار لارتطام كويكب بالأرض
نظام آخر إنذار لارتطام كويكب بالأرض (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System؛ ATLAS؛ رموز المراصد T05 و T08) هو مسح فلكي روبوتي ونظام إنذار مبكر لرصد الأجرام الصغرى القريبة من الأرض قبل أسابيع أو أيام من they ارتطامها بالأرض. وهو ممول من ناسا، وطوّره ويشغـِّله معهد الفلك في جامعة هاوائي، the system's current two 0.5-meter telescopes are located at Haleakala (ATLAS-HKO) and Mauna Loa (ATLAS-MLO) observatories, on two of the Hawaiian Islands and 160 km apart. Each of the two telescopes surveys one quarter of the whole observable sky four times per clear night, for a four-fold coverage of the observable sky every two clear nights.[1] ATLAS began observations in 2015 and its two-telescopes version is fully operational since 2017. The project has obtained NASA funding for two additional telescopes in the Southern hemisphere and it will provide nightly four-fold coverage of the observable sky once they are operational.[2]
