Since 2019, GAL Hassin has focused on data collection in four areas of research:

1. astrometry of asteroids, in particular Near-Earth Objects (NEOs), Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs), comets, and Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs);

2. study of luminosity variation of space debris and satellite constellations;

3. observations of exoplanetary transits with the realization and analysis of the light curves;

4. the search for unknown variable stars.

Much is expected from the commissioning phase of the Wide-field Mufara Telescope (WMT) sat near the top of the 1865-metre Mount Mufara, a world prototype of the wide-field 1-meter telescope.

The study and search for truth and beauty represent a sphere of activity in which it is allowed to remain children for life.
