Abstract

Determination of local tie vectors between the space geodetic techniques such as VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometer), SLR (Satellite Laser Ranging), DORIS (Doppler Orbit determination and Radiopositioning Integrated on Satellite), GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) is essential for combination of ITRF (International Terrestrial Reference Frame). Therefore, it is required to compute IVP (Invariant Point) position of each space geodetic technique with high accuracy. In this study, we have computed Sejong VLBI IVP position by using updated mathematical model for adjustment computation so that the improvement on efficiency and reliability in computation are obtained. The measurements used for this study are the coordinates of reflective targets on the VLBI antenna and their accuracies are set to 1.5 mm for each component. The results show that the position of VLBI IVP together with its standard deviation is successfully estimated when they are compared with those of the results from previous study. However, it is notable that additional terrestrial surveying should be performed so that realistic measurement errors are incorporated in the adjustment computation process.

VLBI, SLR, DORIS, GNSS와 같은 우주측지기술 사이의 3차원 벡터를 결정하는 작업은 ITRF에 중요한 요소이다. 따라서 각각의 우주측지기술에 해당되는 IVP를 정확하게 계산할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 모델에 비해 업데이트된 수학모델을 사용하여 세종시에 위치한 VLBI의 IVP 위치를 계산함으로써 계산의 효율과 신뢰성을 높였다. 관측값으로는 안테나에 부착된 반사타겟의 좌표가 사용되었으며 이때 관측오차크기는 1.5 mm로 설정하였다. 조정계산을 통해 VLBI IVP 좌표와 정확도를 계산했으며 기존 연구에서 제시한 값과 비교했을 때 성공적으로 계산이 된 것으로 판단된다. 하지만 실제 관측오차가 고려된 VLBI IVP를 계산하기 위해서는 향후 VLBI IVP 계산을 위한 추가적인 지상측량이 필요하다.
