Abstract:
ASTROZEN represent a scientific proposal dedicated to investigate and develop a technical solution for data acquisition for geoid modelling, using modern standards and theories, precise instrumentation and the latest accurate available data (high level data) from one of the ESA satellite mission – GOCE (Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer). In the present project will be developed a CCD remote-control instrument for vertical deviation determination, which finally will allow astro-geodetic vertical deviation determination (Helmert deviation) for geoid modelling.

Abstract:
Our proposal falls under the European Space Agency (ESA) priority Earth observation and science research area, Science Program, aiming to develop new applications of ground-based validation techniques of satellite radar interferometry displacement products using Sentinel-1 data. Study area is the landslide prone Carpathian and Subcarpathian ridge of the Prahova Valley. The area is characterized by a high economic importance because it is a major Trans-Carpathian thoroughfare between the Balkan countries and the Orient. During the last century railway, roads, bridges and channel regulation and bank protection works were built along the Prahova Valley, together with oil, in-channel gravel exploitation, and water plants. In this research, InSAR analyzes (space-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry) will be calibrated and validated by a complex research team using GNSS techniques and GIS slope modeling based on geological and geomorphological methods, Lidar and radar obtained DEMs. The short term results will be highly reliable interferometric measurements. On a long term, the results imply the understanding of slope dynamic in the context of major human environmental change. The latter achievement will offer the support to successful risk mitigation actions in mountain areas at national, European and international level.

Abstract:
Constituirea unui sistem naţional incipient, denumit ”Sistem SSTv1”, integrabil treptat in context internațional, cu prioritate in sistemul de supraveghere și urmărire spatiala european. SSTv1 va avea misiunea de a fi la curent cu starea infrastructurii spatiale critice pentru Romania, a cunoaşte si evalua posibilele riscuri asociate reintrarii in atmosfera si caderii corpurilor din spatiu, precum si de a contribui la informarea publica sau specifica structurilor cu rol de interventie, necesare pentru asigurarea unui mediu social – economic stabil, in consens cu nevoile de dezvoltare durabilă a Romaniei.

Abstract:
This research project aims to identify landscape evolution trends in Bucharest based on high-resolution interferometric ground displacement products, using single and dual-polarimetric satellite data. The results based on multitemporal InSAR methodologies (initially applied to ERS, ENVISAT satellite data and later refined using TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X satellite data), validated by ground-based monitoring data and conventional geological and geomorphological methods will capture the space-time evolution of the city. The understanding of these phenomena have long term theoretical and practical results in the context of climate change, offering the support to successful risk mitigation actions in urban areas. The outcome of the project will include validated interferometric-based ground displacement products in urban areas and a more effective process of interpretation of complex dynamics based on a holistic approach achieved by a multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers.

Abstract:
The only remnants of the planetary system formation are the minor bodies of the Solar System: the asteroids and the comets, true living fossils dating back from the dawn of the Solar System. Deep inside their structure, frozen in time, shielded from most destructive processes those early days of our Solar System are still recorded. If we can trace back their history then we are able to reconstruct the original physical and chemical environment from which our own planet, the Earth was formed and also to identify among our closest neighbors the stars were planetary systems are still forming today. Understanding the formation and evolution of these objects, their distribution, composition and physical properties is now the fundamental goal of the planetary sciences due to the implications in broader fields like planetary formation or the origins of life on Earth and the Universe. Within this project we will perform in remote-mode near-infrared spectroscopic observations of three types of asteroids: low deltaV Near-Earth objects (targets of space missions), primitive asteroids and rare taxonomic classes (like E-types). Observations will be carried out from the Remote Observing Center - a new facility developed during the project.
