| | Goals and results of the ad-hoc VLBI activity with Russian antennas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | There are few large Russian radio telescopes suitable for VLBI observations: Bear Lakes RT-64, Kalyazin RT-64, Puschino RT-22 (near Moscow), Ussuriysk RT-70 (Far East), Svetloe RT-32 (near St.-Petersburg). |
 | | As first stage, the old Mk-2 equipment from JPL and NRAO was repaired and installed together with produced 92 cm receivers and one-channel base band converters at Bear Lakes RT-64, Puschino RT-22 (both near Moscow), St. Pustun RT-14 and Zimenki RT-15 (both near N. Novgorod) in Russia, Evpatoria RT-70 in Ukraine, Ventspils RT-32 in Latvia. |
 | | The obtained results allowed to obtain an informal agreement about joint ad-hoc activity between Bear Lakes, Puschino, Noto, Shanghai and GMRT observatories, and Penticton correlator and new VLBI experiments at 18 cm wavelength were arranged: INTAS99.4 (Bear Lakes-Puschino-Noto-Shanghai-Hartebeesthoek-Svetloe) and INTAS00.3 (Bear Lakes-Puschino-Noto-Shanghai-Hartebeesthoek-GMRT). |
