Abstract
In the near future, a new radio telescope will be installed in Bosscha Observatory, Indonesia. This telescope will be integrated into the geodetic Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) network notably into the VLBI Global Observing System (VGOS). In this study, we aim to highlight the use of a geodetic VLBI network to study the plate tectonic movement. We use the VLBI session called Asia-Pacific space geodynamics (APSG) program to measure the crustal movement in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly its velocity. We compared the VLBI analysis results with plate tectonic model NUVEL1-A. Generally, it shows that the tectonic plate velocity from VLBI analysis has a good agreement with the model.
