The Global Geodetic Observing System, an entity under the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) has undertaken the task of advocating for the geodetic infrastructure necessary to meet the global change and other societal challenges, and defining the requirements for the geodetic observatories that constitute it. In this role, GGOS will work with the IAG Measurement Services, the scientific Community, and national and international agencies to bring a combined effort to bear on these areas of international concern. A major task within this effort is the upgrading, expansion, and maintenance of the global ground network of co-located Core Sites for geodesy to enable the realization and maintenance of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF), Earth orientation parameters and precision orbits to meet the needs of Earth orbiting missions, Earth Surface and interior programs, and deep space navigation. GGOS and the geodetic Core Sites should be compliant with the UN resolution from Feb 26, 2015. See http://www.unggrf.org/. This Site Requirements Document outlines what is needed for that compliance.
