In the face of continued growth and diversification of GNSS applications, the worldwide scientific community has made an effort to promote international standards for GNSS data acquisition and analysis, and to deploy and operate a common, comprehensive global tracking system.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;custom-column2&#8243; disable_custom_paddings_mobile=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1552993816464{padding-left: 50px !important;}&#8221; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-4&#8243;]<div class=\"gem-icon-with-text gem-icon-with-text-icon-size-medium gem-icon-with-text-float-right gem-icon-with-text-flow\" ><div style=\"margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px; \" class=\"gem-icon-with-text-icon\"><div class=\"gem-icon gem-icon-pack-elegant gem-icon-size-medium  gem-icon-shape-square gem-simple-icon \"  style=\"opacity: 1;\"><div class=\"gem-icon-inner\" style=\"\"><span class=\"gem-icon-half-1\" style=\"color: #185a7d;\"><span class=\"back-angle\">&#xe00a;<\/span><\/span><span class=\"gem-icon-half-2\" style=\"color: #185a7d;\"><span class=\"back-angle\">&#xe00a;<\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gem-icon-with-text-content\" ><div class=\"gem-icon-with-text-text\">[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"title-h3\">A Technical Service of the International<br \/>\nAssociation of Geodesy<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div><div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fade&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1601069141573{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]As part of this effort, the IGS was formally recognized in 1993 by the International Association of Geodesy (IAG), and began routine operations on January 1, 1994, providing GPS orbits, tracking data, and other data products in support of geodetic and geophysical research. The International GNSS Service (IGS) is a one of several complementary Space Geodesy Technique services of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG), which itself is a component of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) a nongovernmental, scientific organization, established in 1919. IUGG is one of the 40 internationally recognized scientific Unions and Associations presently grouped within the International Science Council (ISC).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;custom-column&#8221; disable_custom_paddings_mobile=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1552993859010{padding-left: 50px !important;}&#8221; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-4&#8243;]<div class=\"gem-icon-with-text gem-icon-with-text-icon-size-medium gem-icon-with-text-float-right gem-icon-with-text-flow\" ><div style=\"margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px; \" class=\"gem-icon-with-text-icon\"><div class=\"gem-icon gem-icon-pack-elegant gem-icon-size-medium  gem-icon-shape-square gem-simple-icon \"  style=\"opacity: 1;\"><div class=\"gem-icon-inner\" style=\"\"><span class=\"gem-icon-half-1\" style=\"color: #185a7d;\"><span class=\"back-angle\">&#xe08b;<\/span><\/span><span class=\"gem-icon-half-2\" style=\"color: #185a7d;\"><span class=\"back-angle\">&#xe08b;<\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gem-icon-with-text-content\" ><div class=\"gem-icon-with-text-text\">[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"title-h3\">Collaborating with IAG Sister Services<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div><div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fade&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1601069152019{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]The other Space Geodesy techniques supported by IAG Services include Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR), Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), and Doppler Orbitography and Radiopositioning Integrated by Satellite (DORIS) \u2013 each providing particular strengths or capabilities that complement the others. The services (IGS, IVS, ILRS, IDS) exist to foster international cooperation, collaboration, and an environment of healthy competition toward improving the reliability, availability, and usefulness of Space Geodesy products. In doing so, participating organizations benefit from the quality and quantity of internationally monitored and compared products from sites around the

The IGS also co-chairs ICG Working Group D, which focuses on reference frames, timing and applications.<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-6adc74ba34bd1 {margin-top: 28px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-6adc74ba34bd1\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div><div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-6adc74ba34bfb {margin-top: 28px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-6adc74ba34bfb\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1603411695904{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1601069666444{padding-right: 80px !important;padding-left: 80px !important;background-color: #f0f3f2 !important;}&#8221;]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-6adc74ba34c1a {margin-top: 50px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-6adc74ba34c1a\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div><div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-6adc74ba34c35 {margin-top: 50px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-6adc74ba34c35\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fade&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"title-h1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Open Data<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=&#8221;custom&#8221; border_width=&#8221;2&#8243; el_width=&#8221;30&#8243; accent_color=&#8221;#185a7d&#8221;]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-6adc74ba34c50 {margin-top: 50px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-6adc74ba34c50\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div><div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-6adc74ba34c6b {margin-top: 50px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-6adc74ba34c6b\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fade&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"styled-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: left;\">IGS data and products have been made openly available to all users for use without restriction, and continue to be offered free of cost or obligation.
