NASA says the study of UFOs will require new scientific techniques, including advanced satellites as well as a shift in how unidentified flying objects are perceived.
It sounds like an interesting set up. I’ve started seeing some amateur projects out there. Though, they’re typically more basic equipment like a single camera using AI to flag and track unusual objects. Your suggestion seems to have a lot of potential for capturing and gathering data.
I’m not sure about a price point, but it’s a new market with a lot of hobbyist interested. There seems to be quite a few people that would be interested, though small enough that pre-order or made to order would need to be done. The one system I’m aware of, the Sky360, gives plans for personal build which has an estimated build price of $1500-$5000. That’s a hefty price point and I don’t know that many people are up for building one themselves.
I’d definitely be interested in such a thing if I lived somewhere with the space to do so. Living in a major city definitely has draw backs when it comes to sky gazing.
Back in the day, people were building their own radio telescopes and hooking them into the seti data collection pipeline. It wasn’t like everyone was doing it but there were quite a few. I would say it was a similar cost, adjusted for inflation.
