New status of the ISON project
Abstract
The International Scientific Optical Network (ISON) is an open international scientific project specializing in observations of near-Earth space objects. It began at the Pulkovo Observatory in 2004, then was continued at the Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and since 2019 it has been implemented by the private company "Small Innovative Enterprise "ISON Ballistics-Service". So, ISON turned in an open international private project. Another new feature is the strengthening of cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Also, the project is gradually turning into an international center for the exchange of information on space debris.
