Proposal Abstract

GEDEX 2 is the continuation of the Geodesy Demonstration Experiment (GEDEX) in the second A.O. period. The experiment is designed to use 5 GHz continuum observations of highly compact extragalactic radio sources by HALCA for demonstrating and testing the concept of reference frame unification and orbit determination accuracy improvement by space VLBI.

The full Cover Sheets (compressed post-script, typically 50kbytes) can be retrieved. Note that many proposals were reduced in extent by the Scientific Review Committee (e.g. by reducing the number of experiments), however the Cover Sheets contain the full proposal as submitted. Also note that AO2 proposals were submitted in May 1998, and information such as affiliations and contact details has changed for some proposers since that time. The Cover Sheets (and the details on this page, which were derived from the Cover Sheets) may therefore have changed.
