摘要
The Pan-STARRS project will undertake repeated surveys of the sky, finding "Killer Asteroids" and everything which moves or blinks, as well as building an unprecedentedly deep and accurate image of the sky. The key technology for this is the next generation of large format cameras, which will offer an order of magnitude improvement in size, speed, and cost relative to existing instruments. This is achieved in part by the integrated design of telescope, detectors, controllers, software, and scientific direction.
