VLBI-based assessment of the consistency of the conventional EOP series and the terrestrial reference frames Abstract The Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) envisages stringent accuracy goals for the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) realization in terms of position (1 mm) and velocity (0.1 mm/year). These requirements entail that
VLBI for Geodesy: Fundamentals, Operation, Products & Applications The RAEGE network (Portuguese-Spanish acronym for Atlantic Network of Geodynamic and Space Stations) is a project resulting from the cooperation between the National Geographic Institute of Spain (IGN) and the Government of Azores. It is a unique project at a geodetic and geodynamic level, in which it
