Plans for 2013-2014
Geoscience Australia
• Support operations of the AuScope geodetic network in cooperation with NZ, South Africa, etc
• Support operations of Parkes for geodetic and astrometric programs. Long-term (5 years) proposal to be submitted in June, 2013 by request of the ATNF TAC.
• Start submission of the VLBI products in SINEX format
• Participate in making of ICRF3

Plans after 2014
Geoscience Australia
• Consider a support for long-term geodetic VLBI operations by AuScope, at least, on 5-year term for more confident scheduling of IVS networks
• Develop a IVS correlation centre in GA (correlation and scheduling)
• Establish the “southern hemisphere” intensive program (Australia, NZ, South Africa) for producing UT1-UTC for GNSS
• Submit proposal for another 12-meter dish in Katherine
• Submit proposal for new receivers for all AuScope dishes

Problems
Geoscience Australia
• A closer cooperation with Australian (UTAS, ATNF, Curtin) and international (IVS, IERS, IAU, national geodetic institutes) stakeholders is a crucial point! If we do not follow the modern trends, we may lose!
• If we stay still, we’ll lose! So, we should go forward and fast enough.
• Extra spending (new dish, operational support, correlation centre, etc) would be required
