Description:During February of 2013, the NGS ISS program conducted a local tie vector survey at IERS network site FORT DAVIS. Three space geodetic technique (SGT) instruments are co-located at this site, consisting of a very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) radio telescope, a satellite laser ranging (SLR) system and one GNSS station. The radio telescope is a component of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) array and is known as the Fort Davis VLBA. The SLR, known as McDonald Laser Ranging System (MLRS), is operated by the University of Texas. The IGS tracking station at the McDonald Observatory Site is owned and operated by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). This report documents the instrumentation, procedures, data analysis, and local tie information results associated with this survey.
