In the radio engineering systems laboratory at the Institute of Applied Astronomy, Soviet Academy of Sciences (now RAS). Researchers working on the Quasar-KVO system project intended for very-long-base radio interferometry, with three observatories far from each other forming a global radio telescope on an area of 12 million sq. km with observation points separated by more than 4,000 km. One observatory is located in Svetloye on the Karelian, another in Zelenchukskaya in the North Caucasus, and the Badary observatory (Republic of Buryatia) completes the giant triangle.

Laboratory of readio astronomy receivers at the Institute of Applied Astronomy of the USSR Academy of Sciences (currently of the Russian Academy of Sciences). Work is underway on the the Quazar-KVO project comprising three separate observatories making up a global radio telescope of the area of 12 million square kilometers with observation points over 4,000 km apart. The first observatory is located in Svetloye, Karelian Isthmus; the second one in Zelenchukskaya, North Caucasus, with Badary observatory in the Republic of Buryatia closing up the giant triangle. The Quazar-KVO project became the foundation of the future Russian satellite navigation system GLONASS.29.09.1989#6549187

Andrei Finkelshtein, a Soviet and Russian scientist, Doctor of Mathematics and Physics, director of the Institute of Applied Astronomy of the USSR Academy of Sciences (currently of the Russian Academy of Sciences). In 1986 he was appointed head of the Quazar-KVO project comprising three separate observatories making up a global radio telescope of the area of 12 million square kilometers with observation points over 4,000 km apart. The first observatory is located in Svetloye, Karelian Isthmus; the second one in Zelenchukskaya, North Caucasus, with Badary observatory in the Republic of Buryatia closing up the giant triangle.
