📋 Tender Overview
In our country the first geophysical observation of the ionosphere was carried out in the early sixties without predicting that in a few months the Geophysical Institute of Peru IGP would be operating the largest ionospheric radar in the world. We refer to a flat radar with dimensions of 300 x 300 meters that despite the passage of time continues to operate and provide data from space to continue conducting research that keeps it on par with technological development. The effort for this achievement is in the capacity of the researchers and engineers who have known how to modernize their infrastructure and operations to the point of continuing to receive recognition from the international community. Knowing the ionosphere is essential for the proper use of the electromagnetic spectrum for radio communications and the phenomena that affect satellite communications navigation GPS geodesy and remote sensing. This range of observational data has given rise to hundreds of scientific contributions that have revolutionized the understanding of the field of space geophysics contributing almost 100 percent of the knowledge that humanity has on the ionospheric and atmospheric characteristics of latitude. equatorial where Peru is located that is to know the national reality in relation to these regions of our atmosphere.We must not ignore the fact that our institution with this scientific facility has provided the opportunity for high-level training of Peruvian scientists engineers and technicians in the field of research electronic development software and radar techniques. Many of the best electronic engineers in the country today have been trained in the laboratories of our Jicamarca Radio Observatory. This acquired capacity has allowed Peru to develop and install the MST radar in Antarctica and to have a Peruvian research program with international recognition that reaffirms our presence in that region. Likewise our scientists in various forums and international meetings supported the potential of the MST technique for the study of atmospheric circulation and with the efforts of the international scientific community it was possible to install atmospheric radars in Piura and other places in the equatorial Pacific for the El Nio study for example. In the same way it should be remembered that only because of the existence of the Jicamarca Radio Observatory was it possible to coordinate four of the largest and most important rocketry campaigns in the South American continent which gave Peruvian civilian and military personnel the opportunity to become familiar with it. type of activity. For more than 60 years at the IGP we have continued doing science to protect ourselves science to advance.
