The NIST International GNSS Service (IGS) Tracking Site is a key facility operated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It is part of the larger IGS federation, which includes over 200 agencies, universities, and research institutions from more than 100 countries. The primary purpose of the IGS is to provide high precision GPS satellite orbits for various research and educational purposes.
NIST operates multiple GNSS tracking stations on its main campus, with details available on the IGS NIST page. In addition to the main station, there are two other stations named NISA and NISU that provide additional tracking capabilities. The data and information generated by these stations are crucial for researchers and educators worldwide who require precise tracking information for various applications.
The NIST International GNSS Service Tracking Site plays a vital role in providing accurate and reliable GPS satellite tracking data, supporting research and educational initiatives across the globe.
