Definition and characteristics of the laboratory:

Satellite Geodesy Laboratory

The Satellite Geodesy Laboratory specializes in the use of satellite-based technologies to study the Earth's shape, gravitational field, and other geophysical parameters. This includes the use of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data, such as GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo, to conduct precise geodetic measurements for applications in mapping, navigation, and monitoring Earth's crust movements. The laboratory may focus on:

• Geodetic Positioning: Using satellite signals to determine precise locations on Earth’s surface.
• Earth Monitoring: Observing and analyzing Earth’s physical changes, such as tectonic plate movement, sea level rise, and land subsidence.
• Reference Frame Construction: Creating accurate reference systems for global navigation and mapping.
• Satellite Gravity: Measuring the Earth's gravitational field to study the planet's interior and dynamic processes.

This laboratory plays a crucial role in advancing geodetic science and providing valuable data for applications in environmental monitoring, disaster management, and infrastructure development.
