The Soviet astronomers B.P. Gerassimovich and N.I. Dneprovsky suggested in 1932 that a Catalogue of Faint Stars be compiled. The SRS catalogue is in fact a realization of this suggestion for the southern hemisphere. The final goal of the work is an international catalogue of faint stars IRS=AGK3R + SRS, containing about 40 000 stars of the 7–9th mag. evenly distributed over the celestial hemisphere at the rate of one star per square degree. This catalogue could supply reference coordinates for astrometric studies of the Universe.
