“The deployment of a Glonass station is part of the Russian-Venezuelan agreement on cooperation in the exploration and use of space for peaceful purposes,” the space corporation posted on the Telegram social network.

Roscosmos recalled that the agreement for the development of this project was signed in Caracas on March 30, 2021, and ratified by Moscow on June 11, 2022.

The measurement collection stations are a complex of high-precision navigation equipment installed at points with known coordinates, the space agency explained.

The Russian agency referred that a key technology in this context is PPP (Precise Point Positioning) that can guarantee decimeter-to-centimeter location accuracy for the static mode in combination with precise satellite orbits and clocks with a dual-frequency receiver of GNSS signals.
