Opening of RIMS station in Warsaw
27 September 2004 - 27 September 2004
Poland
It was established in cooperation between European Space Agency and Space Research Center and with a financial support from State Committee for Scientific Research.
An official opening ceremony, with a delegation from ESA and Polish ministries, will take place on 27 September.
RIMS (Ranging and Monitoring Integrity Station) is an excellent example of use of satellite technologies to meet the needs of modern economy and society. It will be a crucial part of pan-European transport infrastructure.
EGNOS is one of the elements of a European Global Satellite Navigation System Galileo.
The Space Research Center of Polish Academy of Sciences is the only institution in Poland whose activity is fully devoted to space research and its applications in geosciences and technology. Since 1977 the SRC has been conducting pure and applied studies based on space experiments in the field of space physics and Solar System research, and physical and geodesic studies of planets and the Earth.
Recent research and development achievements of the Space Research Centre can be divided into two parts: ,· studies of the ionosphere and magnetosphere of the Earth, the Sun, the heliosphere, interplanetary space; and investigation of planets and their satellites, small bodies of the Solar System, ,· the Earth treated on one hand as a planet, and on the other hand as an object of geodesic research and remote sensing studies.,Almost whole scientific and technological activity of the SRC is carried out in a broad international cooperation.
SRC develops and manufactures space-qualified hardware. For the last years the space instruments made in the institute have visited or are going to visit the Earths orbit and deeper space in the frame of satellite projects and missions: APEX, CORONAS I, Interball2, CASSINI/HUYGENS, PRIRODA/MIR, CLUSTERS, CORONAS-F, INTEGRAL, ROSETTA, MARS EXPRESS and others.
