Abstract

The first field test of NASA’s GPS Geodetic Program took place in March of 1985. The principal objective of this test was the demonstration of the feasibility of the fiducial station approach to precise GPS-based geodesy and orbit determination. Other objectives included an assessment of the performance of the several GPS receiver types involved in these field tests and the testing of the GIPSY Software for GPS data analysis. In this article, we describe the GIPSY (GPS Inferred Positioning SYstem) software system and examine baseline solutions for consistency with independent measurements made using very long baseline interferometry.
