Main Space Intelligence Centre

The Main Space Intelligence Centre is a military facility in Noginsk equipped with modern radar systems and sensors for tracking satellites and space objects. The installation operates continuously with comprehensive surveillance systems that gather and maintain data on all known artificial orbital bodies.

The facility was founded in 1971 as part of Soviet space monitoring programs from the Cold War era. It became the central hub for Russian space surveillance and continues to shape the nation's space intelligence operations today.

Military personnel at the centre maintain strict protocols and disciplined routines, following specific regulations that govern space monitoring operations.

The site is located in the closed military zone of Noginsk-9 and is not accessible to civilians. Visitors can approach from outside but must respect the marked security perimeters and boundaries.

The facility uses an advanced mathematical system to track celestial objects with high precision, calculating orbital parameters and physical characteristics. This method enables rapid distinction between known and unknown space objects.
