Support for the Galileo Reference Centre
For the integrated Galileo performance monitoring and analysis activity, the consortium makes a coordinated effort to measure the Signal in Space (SiS) of individual Galileo satellites at Radio Frequency (RF) level using a 25m radio-telescope operated by ASTRON and in parallel using a 25m radio-telescope operated by OSO.

Geodetic SAR for Baltic Height System Unification and Baltic Sea Level Research (SAR HSU)
In addition to the tide gauges, sea level research nowadays is based on a number of measurement systems, which all have their own characteristics and deliver different type of observations. In order to analyze all observations they need to be available in a common reference frame.
