Ongoing research groups

  • Space Geodesy

    In the research group, we utilize and develop various space geodetic and astronomical observing techniques covering different wavelengths: from very long baseline radio interferometry (VLBI) and radar, to satellite laser ranging (SLR) and traditional optical observations.

  • Electromagnetic scattering

    Large part of the information from local environment to distant planets is received by measuring and analyzing the scattered light, i.e. by remote sensing.

Ongoing projects

  • Space Geodesy

    The Space Geodesy project uses geodesy and space technology methods to measure the shape, position, gravitational field and movements of the Earth. The methods used are based on the use of satellites and other space equipment and enabling highly accurate spatial data and motion measurements. The measurement techniques used include satellite laser (SLR), very long-range interferometry (VLBI) and GNSS.
