The U.S. National Science Foundation has awarded $750,000 to a project led by the IAU Centre for the Protection of the Dark and Quiet Sky from Satellite Constellation Interference (IAU CPS) to reduce the science impact caused by satellite constellations on astronomical observatories.
The IAU CPS, which is co-hosted by NSF NOIRLab and the SKAO, has received a SWIFT-SAT grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). The funded project aims to develop a set of publicly accessible software tools and online services that for the first time would allow astronomers to precisely predict the positions, time of passage and brightness of satellites.
