After completing the course student will have:
• knowledge and understanding of theoretical and spherical geodetic fundamental guidelines, Earth and cosmic space interactions;
• skills to make different kinds of calculations of various the Earth's and cosmic space geodetic parameters and assess the accuracy of measurements;
• competence to organize different types of geodetic calculations on the theoretical and spherical geodetic of national geodetic space.
