| Abstract: |
IT support of two VLBI projects are described: currently running Radioastron project and future Millimetron project.
Radioastron - is the international project led by the Astro Space Center of Lebedev Physical Institute, Moscow, Russian Federation. 10 m Space Radio Telescope is the main payload of Spektr-R spacecraft. The project goal is to create together with a ground based radio telescopes the huge Ground to Space interferometer with a baseline up to 350 km. After successful launch on 18 July, 2011 the Radioastron missions started systematic investigations of the Universe at broad radio frequencies range.
Millimetron - observatory ("Spektr-M" project) is a 10 meter space telescope aimed at solving a wide range of astronomical problems in the wavelength range from far-infrared to millimeter. "Millimetron" orbit will lie in the vicinity of L2 Lagrange point in the anti-Sun direction, at a distance of about 1.5 million km from the Earth. |
