Description
Observations of human-made satellites using arrays of radio telescopes can provide the ultra-precise determination of their speed and position on the celestial sphere. The Planetary Radio Interferometry and Doppler Experiment (PRIDE) is a technique that connects ground-based radio astronomy and space science to deliver the sharpest view of spacecraft in our solar system. I will present the PRIDE's applications for a variety of scientific topics, from spacecraft orbit determination and space weather to planetary ephemerides and fundamental physics.
