Although the scientific validity of these tests are yet to be proven, these experiments have served as a benchmark to verify a full, in-house, correlation pipeline, from the scheduling through the software correlation using DiFX to finally generating a geodetic database. A future inclusion of the Sardinia Radio Telescope, when geodetic receivers will be installed, will enhance the capability to plan ad hoc observations and strengthen the VITA network to became a basis for the definition of the national datum.ELETTRONICOenGeodetic Italian VLBI: first testsConference paperhttp://www.oan.es/raege/evga2015/proceedings.shtml2015evga.conf...90SFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICAScienze Fisiche Settori ERC (ERC) di riferimento::PE9 Universe sciences: astro-physics/chemistry/biology; solar systems; stellar, galactic and extragalactic astronomy, planetary systems, cosmology, space science, instrumentation
