    <description>The National Observatory of Athens (NOA) is the first research institution established in Greece (1842). In PITHIA-NRF project, NOA participates 
        with the Ionospheric Group of the Institute for Astronomy, Astrophysics, Space Applications and Remote Sensing (IG/IAASARS). The main objectives of 
        the IG/IAASARS is to perform systematic ionospheric monitoring and to develop ionospheric and trans-ionospheric nowcasting and prediction systems 
        through the on-line implementation of advanced modelling techniques ingesting ground and space data from all geospace regimes. The IG/IAASARS participates 
        in a large number of European and international projects either as the prime contractor or partner. The group operates the Athens Digisonde, the 
        DIAS system and the TechTIDE that will be registered and further exploited in PITHIA-NRF.
