Department of Planetary Geodesy (ZGP) was established in 1965 in tern: in Department
of Geophysics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Institute of Geophysics of the Polish Academy of Sciences
and since 1977, as one of the departments of the Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
RESEARCH PROFILES
