HAVANA, Cuba, Jan 4 (ACN) One of the projections for this year of the Institute of Geophysics and Astronomy (IGA) is the increase of its scientific results that allow closing the research cycle to offer technological packages and commercial services to the national and international market.
The commercial negotiations include astro-tourism, promoted in closed places, such as observatories and planetariums, although it takes advantage of natural and cultural resources in open spaces in free areas of light pollution, which combines scientific knowledge of astronomy, culture and nature.
Yariu Zayas, IGA communication specialist of the Environment Agency, also told the Cuban News Agency that it is expected to increase cooperation actions to allow access to international funding sources.
In addition, the start of the Cuban-Russian program of geophysical and astronomical observations to strengthen the country's monitoring and surveillance systems, as well as capacity building, and the beginning of the economic feasibility study.
The prospects for this include the implementation of the preparation plan for the Geomagnetic Observatory and the Schumann Resonance Station in the Sierra del Rosario Protected Area, mostly in the province of Artemisa(western region).
Likewise, the completion of the assembly of the magnetic measuring point in the Mariel Exclusive Development Zone in order to expand the state and commercial scientific-technical services, and the elaboration of a methodology to obtain ionospheric data from the measurements taken by the GNSS station of the Cuban-Russian Observatory.
The IGA carries out basic and applied research aimed at the study of the Ionosphere, the Magnetosphere and their interrelationships; the geoeffectiveness of solar activity and its influence on the propagation of electromagnetic waves and other spheres.
