  • GEMOP: Galileo and EGNOS Monitoring Of Performances by Member States

    The GEMOP project monitors the performance of the Galileo and EGNOS positioning systems. The project is funded by the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA), and there are 26 research institutes involved in the consortium. Finnish Geospatial Research Institute provides satellite positioning data from Finland and computes performance indicators related to the Galileo satellite availability and positioning accuracy in ranging domain.

  • Understanding the dynamic Earth in East Antarctica with multitechnique geodetic measurements

    The goal of the DynEAnt project is to better understand the response of the East Antarctic lithosphere to changes in mass loading. In the project, we will develop new lithosophere and load models utilizing long time series of geodetic measurements both at Finland's Aboa station and from Dronning Maud Land. The project improves the accuracy of geodetic measurements in the area with the help of the new loading models we will develop.

  • KaRef

    In Finland, there are free nationwide reference systems, EUREF-FIN coordinate system, N2000 height system and FOGN gravity system. On top of these there is a national geoid model FIN2005N00 that is a transformation surface between EUREF-FIN and N2000 heights. In this project, we research some aspects that support decision making when future reference systems are to be created.

  • Support Grant for the Galileo Reference Centre

    This project is a coordinated effort among four partners from three EU members states (Netherlands, Sweden and Finland). The consortium provides GRC access to a range of facilities and expertise at the member state level for Galileo service performance monitoring.
