6: VLBI Observations of Space Vehicles
Oral Presentation
In recent years much effort has been undertaken to combine space geodetic observations on-board satellites, known as co-location in space. Whereas for SLR and GNSS, co-locations on-board satellites already exist (LEO, GNSS), no such satellites are allowing at present for VLBI observations. In order to cure this situation new satellite missions like GRASP are considered, new observation...

6: VLBI Observations of Space Vehicles
Oral Presentation
Near-field VLBI is a radio astronomical technique that, when applied to observations of spacecraft, provides unique insights into those areas of a space mission's scientific programme requiring precise determination of the spacecraft's lateral position on the celestial sphere and its radial velocity. This technique was pioneered 30 years ago with the tracking of VEGA balloons to determine the...

Oral Presentation
The observation of GNSS satellites with the geodetic VLBI system is an interesting approach which offers a variety of new possibilities. Promising applications can be found, among others, in the field of inter technique ties. Such observations provide possibilities to directly connect the dynamic GNSS and the kinematic VLBI reference frame, which may result in improved future ITRF...

6: VLBI Observations of Space Vehicles
Oral Presentation
VLBI is a radio astronomy tool with very high space angle resolution and Chinese VLBI Network has played a important roles in the Chang’E series lunar mission. In the upcoming Chinese lunar and deep space missions, higher angular position ability is needed. For these reasons, we carried out research on accurate spacecraft positioning and conducted several space vehicles phase-referencing...
