A space project for studying ecological Earth problems is being carried out by means of radio techniques. A 30 m prototype antenna has already been deployed and tested. The radio telescope will be launched in 1994 into a circular orbit haying an altitude 600 km and an inclination of 65°. The planned mission time is ≥ 1.5 year; 25% of this will be available for VLBI observations at wavelengths 6 and 18 cm.
