Space-VLBI: A New Technique for Unification of Reference Frames

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: International Association of Geodesy Symposia ((IAG SYMPOSIA,volume 105))

Abstract

In the next decade — the 90-es — dedicated radio telescopes will be launched into Earth orbit and will be integrated in the ground based Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) networks. Space-VLBI an emerging new observational technique will be with us.
