NATIONAL GEODETIC SURVEY TENTATIVE FIELD PARTY SCHEDULES

The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) maintains a small field force that performs geodetic surveys throughout the United States and its possessions.  These field parties utilize Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, leveling instruments, total stations, absolute gravity meters, and a variety of other geodetic surveying instruments to establish and maintain the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) and to develop standards and specifications for the surveying community.  In addition, the NGS field parties support other important surveying endeavors such as the Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) GPS Network, Aeronautical Survey Programs, and Coastal Mapping Projects.

The Observation and Analysis Division of NGS maintains the schedules of geodetic surveys to be performed by NGS field parties and the schedules of NOAA aircraft flying remote sensing missions .  These schedules are updated and posted, as time allows, on  NGS' web site. These schedules are tentative and may not  be current.
 
 

IMPORTANT NOTICE !! The field party and aircraft schedules are subject to frequent and major changes due to weather conditions, equipment problems, personnel shortages, budget constraints, and agency priorities!!  Contact the Observation and Analysis Division of the National Geodetic Survey at (301) 713-3176 or E-mail Libby Wade for up-to-date field party information. Contact the Remote Sensing Division, Requirements Branch, Edward Allen, at (301) 713-2671 or E-mail Edward Allen for up-to-date aircraft information. These posted schedules are for informational purposes only and must not be considered as a commitment by NGS to perform geodetic surveys.
