Summary:
McMurdo Ground Station (MGS) personnel requested assistance in locating the center of the satellite-tracking dish antenna inside the large white radome near Arrival Heights. The dish antenna was put into "access" position and the GPS antenna was mounted to the "S-Feed". The dish antenna was then rotated to 90 degrees, and the GPS receiver started. The position will be used to geo-reference satellite images of the area. A Trimble 4000 GPS receiver and ancillary equipment, field support, data processing, and data archiving were provided by UNAVCO.
