To whom it may concern: Evaluation IKI (Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences)




IKI
is
an
internationally
well-known
Research
Institute
concerned
with
Outer
Space
and
Solar
System
sciences.

It
is
clearly
the
largest
such
Institute
in
Europe.

IKI
is
responsible
for
the
implementation
of
missions
in
the
Russian
space
program.

At
the
same
time,
IKI
is
home
for
a
large
number
of
scientists
and
engineers,
who
are
traditionally
known
for
excellent
theoretical
and
experimental
scientific
work.

While
IKI
was
focused
very
much
on
national
space
projects
in
the
past,
IKI
has
become
an
important
international
player
in
recent
years.

IKI
participates
actively
in
NASA
and
ESA
missions,
such
as
Mars
Express
and
Venus
Express
(with
cooperation
in
the
ExoMars
mission
currently
being
under
negotiations).

On
the
other
hand,
IKI
is
encouraging
and
supporting
very
much
international
participation
in
Russian
space
missions.



IKI
is
running
international
workshops
and
large
conferences,
among
them
the
well-known
Solar
System
Symposium,
which
takes
place
every
year.

Also,
scientists
from
IKI
contribute
to
workshops
and
conferences
in
other
countries,
and
increasingly
publish
in
international
journals.

Judging
from
my
work
area,
the
current
most
important
projects
of
IKI
is
the
implementation
of
the
Luna
Glob
and
Luna
Resource
Missions.

Both
missions
are
targeted
for
the
Lunar
poles
with
their
main
goal
to
search
for
volatiles
within
the
Lunar
regolith.

These
missions
are
fully
in
the
line
of
current
international
scientific
interest
and
will
certainly
advance
our
understanding
of
the
Lunar
surface
and
space
environment
and
will
prepare
the
way
for
future
human
explorers.


As
Lunar
landers
require
joint
measurement
strategies,
such
missions
offer
excellent
prospects
for
international
cooperation.

I
have
met
with
researchers
from
IKI
as
early
as
in
the
1980's
and
have
visited
IKI
for
the
first
time
in
1992
when
I
was
working
in
the
team
of
the
German
HRSC
(High
Resolution
Stereo
Camera)
intended
to
fly
on
the
Russian
Mars
94
/
Mars
96
missions.



In
the
past
two
years,
I
have
been
visiting
Moscow
and
IKI
frequently
because
of
my
duties
as
a
project
leader
at
MIIGAiK
(Moscow
State
University
for
Geodesy
and
Cartography).

At
MIIGAiK,
we
are
training
students
and
young
scientists
to
process
spacecraft
image
data
for
studies
in
planetary
geodesy
and
cartography.

Using
stereo
data
from
the
Lunar
Reconnaissance
Orbiter
camera,
MIIGAiK
is
compiling
accurate
topographic
and
thematic
Lunar
maps.

Our
goal
is
to
support
the
Luna
Glob
and
Luna
Resource
missions
by
assessing
science
potentials
and
determining
engineering
constraints
of
candidate
landing
sites.

We
had
several
technical
meetings
at
IKI
where
we
had
very
fruitful
discussions
with
Luna
Glob
scientists.


We
are
grateful
that
IKI
has
been
very
supportive
to
this
new
project
at
MIIGAiK.



In
the
past
years,
I
was
very
pleased
to
see
a
growing
number
of
students
and
young
scientists
at
IKI.

Indeed,
I
would
very
much
like
to
encourage
IKI
to
provide
attractive
jobs
for
Russia's
new
generation
of
space
engineers
and
explorers.
