digital cartography basis on the scale of 1:200,000 to 1:2000 will support various sectors of
economy, sciences and national defense.
New state satellite geodetic network will create conditions for prompt fixing of position
of objects with high precision.

governmental authorities.
The specific objectives of the NGIS Project are summarized below:
i) Creation of the new state satellite geodetic network;
ii) Creation of the actual digital cartographic foundation on the materials of aerospace and
