Students in this program study the fundamental principles of astronomy, including the structure and evolution of the universe, as well as the properties and motions of stars, galaxies, planets, and other celestial bodies. They also master observation and data analysis methods used in modern astronomy, such as optical astronomy, radio astronomy, infrared and X-ray astronomy, and remote sensing techniques. Specialists in this field may conduct research on various astronomical objects and phenomena, develop new methods and tools for remote observation, and analyze and interpret data collected through space- and ground-based telescopes, satellites, and other astronomical instruments. Additionally, they may apply their knowledge and skills in space geodesy, space ecology, and space environment studies.

Specialists in this program develop and apply modern methods and technologies for remote observation and study of celestial objects. This includes working with various types of telescopes (optical, radio, infrared, and X-ray), satellites, space probes, and other astronomical instruments. They analyze data obtained from these tools to investigate different astronomical objects and phenomena. Experts in this field also actively participate in international scientific projects and missions, collaborating with colleagues from various countries and organizations. Additionally, astronomy specialists may apply their knowledge and skills in space geodesy, studying the movement and structure of celestial bodies, and in space ecology, examining the impact of space objects on Earth's environment. They may also provide consultative support for space missions and projects, assisting in data interpretation and the development of scientific strategies.

The professional activities of specialists in the "Astronomy and Remote Sensing Methods" program include conducting scientific research in astronomy and cosmology, developing and applying modern methods and tools for remote observation of celestial objects, analyzing data from various sources, participating in international scientific projects and missions, working in the fields of space geodesy and ecology, as well as providing consultative support for space missions and projects.
