天网机器人望远镜网络建于2004年，最初由六个0.4米长的望远镜组成，位于智利安第斯山脉的塞罗托洛美洲天文台。该网络被设计成在伽马射线暴(GRB)只有几十秒的时候对它们进行同时的多波长观测。到目前为止，这个网络已经扩展到≈20望远镜，包括一个20米的射电望远镜，横跨四大洲和五个国家。战役管理器(Campaign Manager，CM)是为天网开发的一种新的观测模式。CM可供所有天网观察者使用，它半自主且无限期地代表观察者缩放和安排曝光，同时允许实时修改缩放参数。CM对于跟踪各种瞬变现象是有用的，包括引力波事件、伽玛暴局部化、年轻的超新星，以及最终足够明亮的Argus光学阵列和大型天气巡天望远镜事件。
Built in 2004, the Skynet robotic telescope network originally consisted of six 0.4 m telescopes located at the Cerro-Tololo Inter-American Observatory in the Chilean Andes. The network was designed to carry out simultaneous multi-wavelength observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) when they are only tens of seconds old. To date, the network has been expanded to ≈20 telescopes, including a 20 m radio telescope, that span four continents and five countries. The Campaign Manager (CM) is a new observing mode that has been developed for Skynet. Available to all Skynet observers, the CM semi-autonomously and indefinitely scales and schedules exposures on the observer’s behalf while allowing for modification to scaling parameters in real time. The CM is useful for follow up to various transient phenomena including gravitational-wave events, GRB localizations, young supernovae, and eventually, sufficiently bright Argus Optical Array and Large Synoptic Survey Telescope events.
