In this research group, we study various space geodetic and astronomical observing techniques covering different wavelengths.
Novel Techniques for the VLBI Global Observing System (NT-VGOS) is a consortium of the Finnish Geospatial Research Institute and Aalto University Metsähovi Radio Observatory funded by the Academy of Finland.
Based on the Metsähovi special funding, a new radio telescope and auxiliary equipments are purchased to fulfill requirements for continuous geodetic VLBI observations.
A new VGOS compatible radio telescope system will be built at Metsähovi Fundamental station.
We research how to improve data transfer, near-real time data analysis and modelling in geodetic VLBI applications.
