Global Navigation Satellite Systems play a principal role in understanding the movements of the Earth’s surface. Permanent observation stations record GNSS data. After collecting and processing the data provides precise information on the continuous changes of the GNSS station positions. With the view of continuing geodynamic studies in Latvia using global data, a project of automated multifunctional optical tracking device is under construction in the Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformation of the University of Latvia. The device will be capable of SLR observations of GNSS satellites, offering a number of possibilities to improve GNSS data accuracy.
