McMurdo Station GPS Survey System - Roving Equipment

Roving Equipment

The roving system is the GPS equipment that users take in the field. During the austral summer season UNAVCO personnel are on-site at McMurdo Station and can provide a wide array of GPS survey equipment, customized for each user's individual needs, including training, field surveying, and data processing support.

An example roving system that can be requested from UNAVCO consists of a Trimble R7 receiver, Zephyr Geodetic antenna, RTK radio and antenna, a hand-held data collector. Backpacks, range poles, and bipods are also available. These systems can also be configured for static work, including solar power systems and all necessary enclosures and cabling.

Users should request GPS support from UNAVCO prior to the field season. For projects requiring a large component of GPS surveying, pre-season training at UNAVCO is strongly recommended.
