National Report of SWEDEN to the NKG General ... - Lantmäteriet

2
different network RTK software and
the work was performed by
Lantmäteriet in collaboration with
KMS 6
and the Norwegian Mapping
Authority.
The processing of the NKG 2003 GPS
Campaign has been co-ordinated from
Lantmäteriet during 2004, with a final
report completed in 2005 (Jivall et al,
2005 and Jivall et al, 2006). The
purposes of the campaign were to
develop a unified ETRS 89 reference
frame on the cm level for the Nordic
area and to develop transformation
strategies between ITRF 7
and the
national realisations of ETRS 89. The
GPS observations were carried out
from September 28 th to October 4 th
2003 on 133 stations in the Nordic and
Baltic countries.
1.2.2 NKG EPN 8 LAC 9
Lantmäteriet operates the NKG EPN
LAC in co-operation with Onsala
Space Observatory at Chalmers
University of Technology. Since May
2005 (GPS week 1321) the daily
processing has changed from version
4.2 to version 5.0 of the Bernese
software. Since the last NKG General
Meeting four years ago seven stations
have been added to the NKG EPN
LAC sub-network, which means that
totally 42 stations are processed today
(figure 1.1). Lantmäteriet has also
represented NKG at the fourth and
fifth EUREF 10
LACs Workshop, which
were held in 2003 and 2006.

1.2.3 Galileo
Staff from Lantmäteriet have participated
as experts in the definition of
user requirements for Galileo and in
the evaluation within EU 11 of proposals
in FP6 12 .
1.2.4 EGNOS 13
During 2003 an EGNOS RIMS 14
was
inaugurated at Lantmäteriet in Gävle.
The station has been successfully
supported by Lantmäteriet since that
year.
1.2.5 Nordic Positioning Service
Lantmäteriet participates in the project
Nordic Positioning Service (Engfeldt et
al, 2006). The major purpose of Nordic
Positioning Service is both to exchange
data between the networks of
permanent reference stations in
Denmark, Norway and Sweden and to
establish common positioning services.
The project also implies exchange of
knowledge in the fields of operation
