Description:
Results from the application of differential carrier phase tracking of the Global Positioning System (GPS) constellation of satellites to precise positioning (sub-10 cm) of an aircraft are presented. These aircraft positions are utilized in the process of providing geodetic quality position information for airborne laser 'footprint' locations on the surface of the earth. The combination of these techniques provides a rapid, cost effective means for collecting geodetic and topographic data, including sea surface topography. Operational techniques and constraints, along with results from recently collected data, are presented.
