The second milestone of the GGSP prototype was reached with the Critical Design Review (CDR).
The purpose of this step was the concept for the practical implementation of the GGSP prototype.
In detail the following work packages were evaluated:
- "Prototype Design" (WP250) - The practical implementation of the GGSP prototype was prepared. The facilities for data collection, processing, combination,
validation and archiving were described in detail.
- "Realisation Plan" (WP260) - The initial GTRF realisation with the focus to network candidates and optimal station distribution was presented.
- "Validation Plan" (WP270) - On the basis of the requirements for the GGSP prototype and the prototype design procedures for the validation of the intial
realisation were given.
- "Maintenance Plan" (WP280) - The mechanism for the GTRF maintenance was described taking into consideration other important products like satellite orbits,
Earth rotation parameters as well as satellite and station clocks..
- "GGSP Requirements Document - Update" (WP220) - The internal and external requirements to the GGSP prototype are defined and summarized.
- "GGSP Prototype External ICD - Part 2" (WP230) - Interfaces between the GGSP prototype and all relevant external entities are described.
