Plate tectonics, with the continental drift theory and later strongly supported by the sea-floor spreading theory with evidence of paleo-geomagnetic fields, ocean floor sediments, successfully explained the slow but continuous movements of rigid lithospheres in geological time. Initially, plate motions were described as relative movements between adjacent plates, mainly based on paleo-geomagnetic reversal data. The advent of space geodetic techniques in the 1980s enabled direct measurements of plate velocities and assessment of deformations within certain regions. In this review, early relative plate motion models are briefly summarized, the no-net-rotation frame theory and corresponding models are explained, and the characteristics of the most recent models that incorporate intraplate deformation are described. Additionally, the plate motion section of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame is introduced, and a few recent case studies of local plate motion are briefly described; for example, in South America, Europe, Antarctica, and Turkey. Finally, studies of plate motion in northeastern Asia focusing on the Korean Peninsula are introduced.

KVN simulation, which is focused on evaluating the impacts of KVN to geodetic VLBI network, was performed. The KVN is under construction with three radio telescopes VLBI system for radio astronomy and space geodesy. To distinguish the impacts of KVN on global and local scale networks, we designed two different sizes of VLBI networks, namely, KVN-Asia and KVN-Pacific. While the former consisted of Far East Asia region VLBI stations, the latter consisted of pacific region VLBT stations. The primary purpose of our simulation is quantitative evaluation of KVN impacts before and after the participation of KVN in the previous two virtual networks. We selected two different sets of parameters to be estimated in the simulation as indices of evaluating estimation precision: station coordinates and EOPs. The station coordinates are evaluating index for KVN-Asia and the EOPs are another evaluating index for KVN-Pacific. From the simulation results of comparisons between evaluating indexes, 50% and 20% of maximum improvements for KVN-Asia and KVN-Pacific were anticipated respectively. We expect that the space geodetic use of KVN will be focused on the several promising research fields which are proposed through the simulation results.

밀리미터파 영역에서의 관측장치를 살펴보면, 단일망원경을 제외하고도 세계의 밀리미터파 간섭계의 그 어느 것이나 현재 확장작업을 진행중이며, 또 밀리미터파서브밀리미터파영역에서의 고분해능 관측의 천문학적 성과를 올리기 위해 서브밀리미터파 간섭계의 건설계획을 추진하고 있고, NARO에서도 NMA계획을 발표하여 그 준비가 착착 진행되고 있다. 이들에 대해, 일본의 NRO에서도 HMA확충계획을 진행시키는 한편, 대형밀리미더파 간섭계(LMA) 계획을 발표하고 있다. 따라서 일본 내부에서는 SUBARU 망원경건설 이후의 천문학 분야에서의 차기 대형 장래계획으로서 LMA가 자리잡고 있다. 따라서 본 발표에서는, 세계의 이러한 추세 속에서 향후 5년 내지는 10년 이후를 내다보고 우리나라 전파천문학은 앞으로 무엇을 해 나가야 할 것인가, 그리고 무엇이 우리의 실정에 가장 적합한 천문학인지를 생각해 보기 위한 한 방편으로, 측지적인 목적과 전파천문학적인 견지에서의 국내 및 국외 VLBI Network 형성과 LMA 계획을 분석해보고자 한다.

We present the analysis of space geodetic technique observation, Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR), to LAGEOS1 and LAGEOS2 for the definition of the Terrestrial Reference Frame (TRF). The data were analyzed in 7day arcs during about 9 years (2000/01/10 ~ 2008/12/29) using NASA Goddard's GEODYN/SOLVE II software. The comparison of the coordinates between ITRF2005 and TRF solutions determined in this work shows that there is no significant bias.

In year 1996, the National Geography Institute(NGI) carried out a National Fundamental Network survey. A total of 220 baselines between 31 stations were occupied that the baseline length is 40 km-120 km(mean 67.4 km). A minimally constrained network adjustment with three dimensional baseline vectors, was carried out holding geocentric ITRF94 coordinates of the station SUWON which are determined by eccentric observations from the VLBI station. This paper shows KTRF94 coordinates of fundamental stations which accuracies are estimated 1 cm in horizontal and 3 cm in vertical. Also, the coordinates are compared to WGS84 and/or KGS95.

The UAV tracking antenna system based on GPS has a characteristic of update of position information which can occurs a position error. To reduce the position error, UAV tracking antenna system separates period of GPS update-rate and predicts the position of UAV using divided time points. These process improves the tracking performance of UAV. To predict the position of UAV by divided time points, we used a linear kalman filter based on the velocity and acceleration. Using this system, we measured velocity and acceleration according to the change of position. Finally, we can predict the change of position on divided time points.

The conventional LESS (LEast-Squares Solution) is calculated under the assumption that there is no errors in independent variables. However, the coordinates of a point, either from traditional ground surveying such as slant distances, horizontal and/or vertical angles, or GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) positioning, cannot be determined independently (and the components are correlated each other). Therefore, the TLS (Total Least Squares) adjustment should be applied for all applications related to the coordinates. Many approaches were suggested in order to solve this problem, resulting in equivalent solutions except some restrictions. In this study, we calculated the normal vector of the 3D plane determined by the trace of the VLBI targets based on TLS within GHM (Gauss-Helmert Model). Another numerical test was conducted for the estimation of the Helmert transformation parameters. Since the errors in the horizontal components are very small compared to the radius of the circle, the final estimates are almost identical. However, the estimated variance components are significantly reduced as well as show a different characteristic depending on the target location. The Helmert transformation parameters are estimated more precisely compared to the conventional LESS case. Furthermore, the residuals can be predicted on both reference frames with much smaller magnitude (in absolute sense).

Displacement of the Earth's surface due to atmospheric loading has been recognized since a century years ago, and its accurate estimation is required in present day geodesy and surveying, particularly in space geodesy. Atmospheric load deformation in continental region can readily be calculated with the given atmospheric pressure field and the load Green's function, and, in near coastal area, approximate model is used for the calculation. The changes in the Earth's atmospheric circulation and the seasonal variation of atmospheric pressure on two hemispheres of the Earth are the each main causes of variation of the Earth's spin angular velocity and polar motion respectively. Wind and atmospheric pressure do the major role in other periodic and non-periodic perturbations of the positions in the Earth's reference frame and variations in the Earth's spin rotational state. In this reviewing study, the developments of related theories and models are summarized along with brief description of phenomena, and the geodetic perturbing effects of a hypothetical typhoon passing Korea are shown as an example. Finally related existing problems and further necessary studies are discussed in general.

This paper focuses on examining and evaluating results of the Korean Geodetic Datum 2002 (KGD2002) of the national horizontal network adjustment. To this end, 137 geodetic control points were independently observed by GPS technology. After processing all the observations, their results were compared with ones derived by the national network adjustment which was recently performed to determine new KGD 2002 coordinate sets over the national geodetic control points. The comparisons results showed that RMSE was ${\pm}2.7cm$ and ${pm}6.5cm$ in horizontal and vertical component in the case of GPS network, whereas RMSE was ${\pm}3.0cm$, in horizontal component in the case of EDM network.
