<strong>WGS</strong> <strong>84</strong> Aligned to ITRF<br />

•<strong>WGS</strong> <strong>84</strong> (G1150) aligned to ITRF2000<br />

•<strong>WGS</strong> <strong>84</strong> network solution<br />

–NGA and US Air Force site<br />

coordinates solved using NGA orbits<br />

–Solution constrained to ITRF network<br />

–Validation: Hold <strong>WGS</strong> <strong>84</strong> sites fixed<br />

and allow IGS sites to adjust<br />

–Direct comparison between NGA and<br />

IGS orbit solutions<br />

Comparison of NGA and IGS <strong>GPS</strong> orbits<br />

(~ 6 cm)<br />

•NGA contributes its <strong>GPS</strong> observational data to IGS<br />

–Supports consistency between <strong>WGS</strong> <strong>84</strong> and ITRF<br />
