NASA will be performing network maintenance on Thursday, November 7, 2024, between 14:00 EST and 16:00 EST (19:00 UTC and 21:00 UTC). There will be two periods of about five minutes of disruption. This will result in the unavailability of the CDDIS archive and the website. If you experience problems outside this window, contact support-cddis@nasa.gov.

CDDIS: NASA's Archive of Space Geodesy Data
GNSS product holdings

Products derived from GNSS data archived in the CDDIS are generated and submitted by the IGS analysis and associate analysis centers. IGS products support scientific research in:

  • Realization of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF)
  • Monitoring deformation of the solid Earth
  • Monitoring Earth rotation
  • Monitoring variations in the hydrosphere (sea level, ice sheets, etc.)
  • Scientific satellite orbit determination
  • Monitoring the Earth’s ionosphere and troposphere
  • Time and frequency transfer

IGS operational products include precise GNSS satellite ephemerides, positions and velocities of stations in the global GNSS network, EOPs (polar motion and rates, length-of-day), and station and satellite clock solutions. Other products derived from the CDDIS GNSS data holdings include troposphere Zenith Path Delay (ZPD) estimates (both dry and wet components) and global ionosphere maps, in support of IGS Working Groups or Pilot Projects.
