The Federation of Astronomical and Geophysical Data Analysis Services(FAGS) was formed by the International Council of Scientific Unions(ICSU) in 1956 and includes today twelve Permanent Services each operating under the authority of one or more of the interested Scientific Unions : International Astronomical Union(IAU), International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics(IUGG), and Union Radio-Scientifique Internationale(URSI). Their tasks are to continuously collect observations, information and data related to astronomy, geodesy, geophysics and allied sciences; to analyse, synthesize, and draw conclusions from them; to distribute data; and to publish the results obtained. 1, record 2, English, - Federation%20of%20Astronomical%20and%20Geophysical%20Data%20Analysis%20Services

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 3, English, - Scientific%20Committee%20on%20Frequency%20Allocations%20for%20Radio%20Astronomy%20and%20Space%20Science
