The IAG/IERS Working Group "Metrology of space geodetic infrastructure" (formerly: IAG/IERS Working Group on Site Survey and Co-location ) will share methodology of existing tie surveys, continued to develop, document recommended procedures, and archive surveys completed by all agencies represented. In addition, efforts will be made to isolate systematic errors of the space geodetic techniques using surveying methods and investigate field procedures that could be completed while a tie survey to provide the operator valuable feedback on potential physical errors found onsite. Further details can be found in the WG Charter (IAG/IERS Working Group "Metrology of space geodetic infrastructure") (PDF, 98KB, Not barrier-free file.).
