AI中文摘要：
普罗维登斯是一个由法国国家航空航天研究院主导的项目，旨在法国南部的上普罗旺斯天文台安装新一代光学地面站。该站围绕2.5米孔径建造，解决五个核心科学案例：太空态势感知、天文学、激光活动与通信、大气特性描述以及仪器原型设计。项目分为三个并行子项目，涵盖望远镜（普罗维登斯T）、建筑（普罗维登斯B）和仪器（普罗维登斯I），后者包括该设施的首光自适应光学仪器星际。本文介绍了科学动机、项目架构、望远镜技术规格、更换现有T152赤道望远镜相关的土木工程挑战以及为容纳多个协同工作的仪器团队而设计的站区布局。项目路线图目标是在2029年实现首光，恰逢追踪小行星阿波菲斯的近距离飞越。
英文摘要：
PROVIDENCE is an ONERA-led project to install a new-generation optical ground station at the Haute-Provence Observatory (OHP) in South of France. Built around a 2.5-meter aperture, the station addresses five core science cases: space domain awareness, astronomy, laser activities and communications, atmospheric characterization, and instrumental prototyping. The project is organized into three parallel subprojects covering the telescope (Providence T), the building (Providence B), and the instruments (Providence I), the latter including the facility's first-light adaptive optics instrument, INTERSTELLAR. This paper presents the scientific motivation, the project architecture, the telescope technical specifications, the civil-engineering challenges associated with replacing the existing T152 equatorial telescope, and the station layout designed to host multiple co-active instrument teams. The project roadmap targets First Light in 2029, timed to track the close-approach flyby of asteroid Apophis.
