1 International Global Navigations Satellite System Service (IGS) Web: (Formerly the International GPS Service until 2005) Chair of the Governing Board: Urs Hugentobler, , Technical University of Munich (Germany) John M. Dow, , European Space Agency / European Space Operations Center (Germany) Director of the Central Bureau: Ruth Neilan, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology (USA) Mission: The International GNSS Service provides the highest-quality GNSS data and products in support of the terrestrial reference frame, Earth rotation, Earth observation and research, positioning, navigation and timing and other applications that benefit society. Overview During the years between , the International GNSS Service (IGS) continued to flourish and thrive. The IGS is a voluntary federation of more than 200 organizations in 100 countries that pool resources and permanent GNSS station data, predominantly from GPS and GLONASS, to generate precise data products and information. (See organization chart, Figure 1 and IGS maps, Figure 2 and 3) The IGS is dependent on its cooperative global tracking network of over 400 stations, providing the global reference and links to many denser regional networks, such as EUREF, SIRGAS, AFREF, and so on. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is a general term describing space-based position, navigation, and timing (PNT) satellite systems. Currently there are two fully functional GNSSs: the US Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Russian Federation s GLONASS. GPS demonstrates the potential for precise ground- and space-based PNT anywhere in the world. IGS data are collected continuously and archived at distributed Data Centers. Analysis Centers then retrieve the data and produce the most accurate GPS/GLONASS data products available anywhere. IGS data and data products are made readily available to any user reflecting the IGS
2 commitment to an open data policy. The IGS intends to incorporate future GNSSs, the European Union s Galileo and China s COMPASS, and potentially space-based GNSS augmentation systems such as Japan s Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) and India s GPS Aided Geo Augmented Navigation system (GAGAN). The IGS is a highly successful international scientific federation and a model of international cooperation. IGS is proud to be a recognized scientific service of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) since IGS is one of the key elements of the IAG s new Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS). IGS was also a member of the International Council for Science s (ICSU) interdisciplinary body, the Federation of Astronomical and Geophysical Data Analysis Services (FAGS) since 1996 until it was dissolved in IGS will apply for membership with the new ICSU body, the World Data System (WDS). IGS Strategic Plan , Mission Statement and Long Terms Goals In , the IGS engaged in a strategic planning process to update the plan. This resulted in a revised mission statement, long term goals and objectives and strategies to achieve the goals. The mission of the IGS is to provide: The highest quality GNSS data, products, and services in support of the Earth observations and research, positioning, navigation and timing, the terrestrial reference frame, Earth rotation, and other applications that benefit society. To accomplish this mission, the IGS outlines six long-term goals for the period These goals are to: Serve as the premier source of the highest-quality GNSS-related standards (conventions), data and products, openly available to all user communities. Attract leading-edge expertise to pursue challenging, innovative projects in a collegial, collaborative and creative culture. Maintain an international federation with committed contributions from its members, and with effective leadership, management and governance. Incorporate and integrate new systems, technologies, applications and changing user needs into IGS products and services. Facilitate the integration of IGS into the Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) and other more broadly-based Earth observing and global navigation systems and services. Promote the value and benefits of IGS to society, the broader scientific community, and in particular to policy makers and funding entities.

IGS History A number of factors led to the formation of the IGS. By the late 1980's many geodynamics and geodetic organizations recognized the potential applications of GPS. GPS was increasingly used for scientific research applications (e.g., earthquake studies, fault motion, plate tectonics) and many people realized the numerous benefits of this affordable technology. The motivating goal for the solid Earth science community was millimeter-level positioning in support of scientific endeavors anywhere in the world. It became evident that a partnership of organizations could better assume the capital investment and recurring operations costs necessary for a globally-based civilian ground infrastructure. At the same time, international groups began forming joint partnerships for collecting data and making observations, developing cooperative approaches and defining standards to ensure that the activities would be driven by science requirements. The idea for an international GPS service began to crystallize at the 1989 IAG Scientific Assembly in Edinburgh, UK. It was here that people recognized that a standardized civilian system for using GPS would be beneficial to all. Subsequently, a planning committee was established within IAG to transform this recognition into action and agreement. In 1991 a Call for Participation was organized by the IAG Planning Committee, seeking participants and contributors who would help develop the proof of concept for an international service in form of a demonstration campaign. The call requested interested groups to assume the roles of station operations, networks, data centers, analysis centers, and a Central Bureau for coordination of the activity. The response was overwhelming and the project was organized by a
8 Campaign Oversight Committee. The pilot activity took place from June to September 1992 and was highly successful, demonstrating the viability of the IGS. The IGS was officially established as an IAG international service on January 1, The IGS celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2004 at a highly successful symposium at the Astronomical Institute of the University of Bern in Switzerland. The IGS, as a completely voluntary organization, continues to operate the global civilian GPS and GLONASS tracking system for science research and novel applications. Since the pilot project in 1992, the network has grown from approximately 30 permanent GPS stations to more than 400 (including GLONASS stations since 1998) and the accuracy of the IGS orbits has improved an order of magnitude, from 50 cm to less than 5 cm (3d-wrms). In December 2005, the GLONASS Pilot Project Service ( ) was dissolved as a separate IGS activity, and GLONASS tracking and processing became an integral part of the IGS, demonstrating IGS as a truly global GNSS service. Earlier that year during a revision of the IGS Terms of Reference, the Governing Board decided that a name change was appropriate to reflect the IGS s utilization of GLONASS and GPS, and plans for incorporation of any future GNSS.

9 Report of the International Association of Geodesy Travaux de l Association Internationale de Géodésie Summary Through the IGS contributing organizations, its associate members, hundreds of participating scientists and engineers, and the many respective sponsoring agencies, the IGS operates a collective system that has provided geodetic reference data and related products of enormous value to scientific research, applications, and society. The IGS has accomplished much as a fully voluntary, globally de-centralized organization, self-governed by its members, and without any central source of funding. Financial support is provided through the various member organizations and the agencies around the world that sponsor them. The IGS is indebted to these many sponsors and expresses sincere appreciation for their continued support through the years. Each contributor to the IGS adds value to the federation, and this community of dedicated individuals can be proud of a stellar record of accomplishments.
