Scientific paper

The primary scientific goal of this proposal is to test for technical capabilities to measure the time of quasar disappearance/reappearance during occultation by Moon with a precision of about 100 microsec of time. These occultations of different quasars can be observed by different VLBI sites. An accurate determination of the moment of ingress/egress of the occulted quasar will result in an improvement in the estimation of the Earth spin rate (Universal Time). In addition, a number of other scientific projects can be realized ? Lunar limb surface topography, lunar orbit improvement, etc.
