Space geodesy is a branch of geodesy that uses satellite and space-based technologies to measure and monitor the Earth's shape, orientation, gravity field, and other geophysical phenomena. This field employs various techniques, including: 1. **Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI)**: This method uses radio telescopes to measure the time it takes for signals from distant quasars to reach Earth.
