Abstract:
OWL, which was completed in 2016, has been in test operation for two years from 2017 to 2018. During that time, we focused on stabilizing the operation of five each OWL observatories through both software enhancements and hardware reinforcement work. As of the end of 2018, the average operating rate is more than 90%. In order to be more standard system, we have also performed calibration work through standards stars and satellites with known precise orbital elements. As a result, not only satellites but also near-Earth asteroids can be included in observations of OWL-Net. In this presentation, I would like to briefly show a series of works and their results during the test period.
