Global Positioning System (GPS)

In addition to GIS and Remote Sensing (RS) facilities, UALR maintains a National Geodetic Survey (NGS) B Order Geodetic Position (Station ROUCH). The base station is a 12 dual frequency 12 channel Trimble 4000SSi™ CORS reference station, capable of tracking L1 C/A code, L1/L2 P-code and L1/L2 full-cycle carrier. The station is also fully operational during P-code encryption. The base station will also broadcast its data via radio modem for a radius of 10 kilometers from its location at UALR.

The reference station antenna (Station ROUCH) is positioned at:

Latitude         34¡ 43' 27.77488" N

Longitude     -92¡ 20' 27.06917" W

Elevation      113.2 m / 371 ft (Datum - NAD83 (1997))

The above position is as of November 3, 1997 as part of the Arkansas  HARN project which took place in September 1997.
