Abstract

The main goal of the MASTER‐Net project is to produce a unique fast sky survey with all sky observed over a single night down to a limiting magnitude of 19‐20. Such a survey will make it possible to address a number of fundamental problems: search for dark energy via the discovery and photometry of supernovae (including SNIa), search for exoplanets, microlensing effects, discovery of minor bodies in the Solar System, and space‐junk monitoring. All MASTER telescopes can be guided by alerts, and we plan to observe prompt optical emission from gamma‐ray bursts synchronously in several filters and in several polarization planes.
