The Department for Astrometry and Space Geodynamics - Cooperation

SCIENTIFIC COOPERATION AND COORDINATION OF WORKS

��� The department participates in international programs to study the Earth's rotation and construction of coordinate systems and coordinates the activities of Ukrainian network stations observations, laser radar, radio technical, radiointerferometrychnyh, the expansion of their actions on the territory of Ukraine and relations with GNSS and al. (YA.S. Yatskiv, Medvedsky MM, AA Pace, A. Zhalilo, Ishchenko MV et al.)

��� In 1995 created a Ukrainian Centre of determination the Earth Orientation Parameters (EOP) which aims to coordinate the work of the Ukrainian network stations of space geodesy and geodynamics (A.O. Korsun, 1995-2002, A. Bolotin, 2003-2008, V.J. Czolyj - since 2008.)

��� With the support of the National Space Agency of Ukraine, in cooperation with the European Space Agency (ESA) and "EDO Storm" National Technical University of Ukraine "KPI" developed and tested system for laser communications and atmospheric experiments with geostationary satellite ARTEMIS (ESA). Designed for this device is placed in the Cassegrain focus 0.7-meter telescope AZT-2 MAO NAS of Ukraine (performers of GAO Kuzkov VP, SV Kuzkov).

The department is actively involved in international services, projects and observational campaigns:

��� International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS), International Laser Ranging Service, International VLBI Service, International GNSS Service and others.

��� International project EEGS2 ��Distribution of EGNOS in Eastern Europe. Applying ��.

The department cooperates with the Institute of Applied Astronomy RAS, many observatories and institutions of the world.
