McDonald Geodetic Observatory’s VLBI Station consists of a 12m antenna which operates within the VGOS network led by NASA’s Space Geodesy Project. This antenna and several others around the world help to determine the Terrestrial Reference Frame, which is the antenna’s locations on Earth, as well as the International Celestial Reference Frame, which is the location of the observed quasars in the sky. On this page you will see a live video feed of the antenna while in operations, and also during down time when maintenance and upkeep of the antenna is performed by local MGO staff.
