After successful completion of the course, students are able to coordinate and analyze a VLBI experiment. The students are capable of creating a schedule and validating their results using Monte-Carlo simulations. Furthermore, the students are able to interpret the key values in VLBI raw data analysis and carry out a geodetic parameter estimation.
