Алтайский оптико-лазерный центр имени Г. С. Титова

The Altay Optical-Laser Center features a 60-centimeter telescope with laser capabilities for tracking artificial Earth satellites at distances between 500 and 40,000 kilometers.

Established in 2004 near Savvushka village, the facility received its name in 2010 to honor cosmonaut German Titov, a pioneering figure in space exploration.

The center represents Russian advancement in space technology, contributing to scientific research while maintaining a connection to the local Altai region's technical heritage.

Located 4.5 kilometers from Savvushka village at 385 meters elevation, the center benefits from 240 clear nights annually for optimal space observation conditions.

This facility achieves precision measurements of satellite coordinates within one centimeter accuracy through its specialized optical-laser tracking system.
