Abstract
The Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (NDRE) and the Norweigian Mapping Authority (NMA) have undertaken a joint project in satellite geodesy in cooperation with several geodetic groups in Europe and the U.S. Simultaneous GPS tracking is now being routinely performed with TI-4100 receivers located in Tromsø and at Onsala, Wettzell and five North-American VLBI stations. In Norway, NMA is in charge of data collection and is operating GPS reference stations in Tromsø and at Onsala. An orbit computation service is also being planned. NDRE is responsible for development, testing, and special applications of the GPS data analysis tools. At the core of these applications is a computer program, GEOSAT, for high-precision calculation of orbits and associated geodetic parameters, based on a variety of satellite tracking data. Results are presented from use of this program on a TI-4100 data set acquired at three VLBI stations in the U.S., 3–7 June 1986.
