AbstractThe wide-field 1 m telescope with ten 2k×4k CCD chips was set up at the Bisei Spaceguard Center in Okayama prefecture, Japan. The Japan Spaceguard Association started to make space debris observations using this telescope in addition to the 50 and 25 cm telescopes. The 1 m telescope has a field of view of 2.5° by 3.0° and has the ability to detect space debris with a size of 30–50 cm in geosynchronous earth orbit. When the telescope's potential performance is reached, it will be one of the best telescopes to make space debris survey work.
