IUCAF is an international committee(set up in 1960 by URSI, IAU, and COSPAR) that works in the field of spectrum management on behalf of the passive radio sciences, like radio astronomy, remote sensing, space research, and meteorological remote sensing. The IUCAF brief is to study and coordinate the requirements for radio frequency allocations established by the afore-mentioned sciences and to make these requirements known to the national and international bodies responsible for frequency allocations. IUCAF has official standing as a nonvoting organisation at the ITU, the International Telecommunication Union, located in Geneva, Switzerland. 4, record 5, English, - Scientific%20Committee%20on%20Frequency%20Allocations%20for%20Radio%20Astronomy%20and%20Space%20Science
