  • Description - The purpose of discipline: Application Theoreticand practical bases of designing and creation of reference systems in geodesy: - use of measuring spatial information on the surface of the Earth, the depths of objects and bodies in space geodetic engineering; - to develop the project and technical specifications in accordance with normative-technical documentation; - organize and manage engineering and surveying projects in field and laboratory conditions; - to develop a program monitoring project for environmental monitoring based on gravimetric and cartographic materials; - to create a three-dimensional model of the physical surface of the Land, buildings and engineering structures; - to present the development to ensure competitiveness, majoring in geodesy. Discipline is a theoretical course for the solution of geometric problems satellite geodesy, fixed in space at some point in time. Discipline is built on the system dynamic problems and knowledge of the laws of motion of the satellite in orbit. When the parameters of the Earth's gravitational field the solution of the problem is complicated by the presence of a large number of refinable parameters and the necessity of considering the influence of factors disturbing the satellite motion. The study of sources of surveillance on the movement of satellites with orbits of different inclinations and altitudes, as well as ground-based gravity survey. The main scientific objective of modern geodesy and astrometry.
