SK-42 reference system
The SK-42 reference system also known as the
ellipsoid, is a coordinate system established in the Soviet Union in 1942 as Systema koordinat (Russian: Система координат 1942 года), and provides parameters which are linked to the geocentric Cartesian coordinate system PZ-90.[1]
It was used in geodetic calculations, notably in military mapping and determining state borders.
The coordinate system SK-42 served as a foundation for developing the SK-63 reference system which was created and used primarily for civilian and industrial development purposes.[1]
