Abstract

The International GNSS Service (IGS) is in the final stages of preparing the launch of the IGS Real-Time Service (IGS-RTS) in the second half of 2012. The availability of data and products from this new service will follow the IGS's open data policy that these products will be openly available to all. The IGS is an operational scientific service of the International Association of Geodesy and one of several services contributing to the Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS). To assist in fulfilling their own mandates, national geodetic and space agencies have contributed to the development of the real-time service and will continue to be involved both as contributors and users of the IGS real-time products. The IGS-RTS uses the Network Transport of RTCM by Internet Protocol (NTRIP) for internal operations and for the delivery of real-time products to its user community.
