Interesting report with lots of cool pictures
The USNGS has been performing site surveys at locations with multiple geodetic sensors. The report linked here: http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/corbin/iss/reports/FortDavisSiteSurvey.pdf describes a recent survey at the McDonald Observatory and Ft Davis National Radio Observatory in west Texas near Ft Davis, Texas.
Btw, visiting the site is certainly worthwhile. Take the tour of the optical telescopes. They have organized viewing events using “small” telescopes. The skies here are wonderfully dark.
Consider staying at the historic Paisano Hotel in Marfa, Texas where the cast of the movie Giant stayed…
Also the Washington site report include some nice photos including the French satellite system DORIS.
Enjoy,
