RELEASED REVISED CORS SITE GUIDELINES

Update Guidelines for establishing and operating CORS sites have been released today.
 The main change reflects a new minimum spacing requirement of 70 km to nearby CORS. The 
 rest of the changes are mostly clarifications or corrections to existing requirements.

RELEASED NEW CORS COORDINATES and ABSOLUTE ANTENNA CALIBRATION PAGES

 New CORS coordinates have been released today Tuesday, 6 September 2011. These coordinates
   are in:
   -IGS08 epoch 2005.00
   -NAD 83 (2011,MA11,PA11) epoch 2010.00
   -These coordinates are from a stacked solution including data from 1 January 1994 to 
     16 April 2011.
   -60-day and long-term plots are available 
   -Absolute antenna calibrations have been released in both ANTINFO and ANTEX format
    older relative antenna calibration remain available in ANTINFO format
   -OPUS-S and OPUS-RS support obtaining solutions in new reference frames as listed
    above 
   -UFCORS provides coordinates in the new frame 
 
  A detailed description of the new coordinates with a comparison of results to previous
  reference frames, and an FAQ is available:

Being Awarded US Air Force Contract to Continue GPS Modernization
Boeing Company Press Release
12 February 2013

Boeing will continue modernizing the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite 
constellation for up to five more years, extending the company's role in 
the vital military and civilian navigation network.

The U.S. Air Force, which operates the GPS network, recently awarded 
Boeing a $51 million, one-year contract with four one-year options. The 
contract covers GPS IIF satellite shipment to the launch site in Florida, 
pre-launch preparation, post-launch checkout, handover and on-orbit 
support.

"The contract provides mission continuity for the Boeing GPS IIF fleet 
as we continue to deliver on our commitments," said Craig Cooning, vice 
president and general manager of Boeing Space & Intelligence Systems. 
"With nine GPS IIFs still awaiting deployment, the contract scope includes 
supplying all support needed until the Air Force calls for the vehicles."

Boeing, which has been part of GPS since the network's inception in the 1970s, 
hass produced nearly 70 percent of the satellites launched in support of 
the GPS constellation.

The company is on contract for 12 GPS IIF satellites, three of which 
have been launched into service. The IIFs provide greater navigational 
accuracy through advances that include atomic clock technology, a new 
civilian L5 signal and an improved military signal.

The next IIF is to launch during the second quarter of this year. Boeing 
will complete production of the remaining ones by the end of the year.

"We have the capability to maintain the remaining IIF spacecraft to be 
delivered and the flexibility to launch up to three within a single year 
if required to sustain the network," said Jan Heide, Boeing GPS IIF 
program director.

A unit of The Boeing Company, Boeing Defense, Space & Security is one of 
the world's largest defense, space and security businesses specializing 
in innovative and capabilities-driven customer solutions, and the world's 
largest and most versatile manufacturer of military aircraft. Headquartered 
in St. Louis, Boeing Defense, Space & Security is a $33 billion business 
with 60,000 employees worldwide.
