Permanent Satellite Tracking Networks for Geodesy and Geodynamics

As the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite array nears
complete configuration, the versatility of the system is
becoming apparent. Using GPSin combination with other
techniques, such as PARE, DORIS, SLR, and VLBI allows for
quick and highly accurate determinations of orbits, earth
rotation, and crustal deformation.
The papers in this volume examine the virtues of permanent
satellite tracking networks and review the standards of GPS
observation and analysis in geodesy and geodynamics.
The papers presented in this volume are the result of an IAG
symposium held during the XX General Assembly of the
International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics in Vienna,
Austria, August 11-24, 1991.
