Happy new year! Please visit the following articles from December 2025 and thus far into January 2026 related to IVS subjects, courtesy of Nlingi Habana (thank you!): Cite: Chatzinikos, et al. (2026)Title: An ensemble MCDM strategy for orbit design in Genesis-like missionsDoi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.asr.2025.11.094Synopsis: “The main goal of this paper is to introduce a new ensemble-based Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) strategy […]

(2023)Title: Orbital Configurations of Spaceborne Interferometers for Studying Photon Rings of Supermassive Black HolesDOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actaastro.2023.09.035 Synopsis: “The inclusion of baselines exceeding the diameter of the Earth and observation at as short a wavelength as possible is imperative for further development of high resolution astronomical observations. This can be achieved by a […]

(2023): Effects of Non-tidal Loading Applied in VLBI-only Terrestrial Reference Frames https://doi.org/10.1007/s00190-023-01766-6 “We investigate the impact of the reduction of non-tidal loading (NTL) in the computation of secular terrestrial reference frames (TRFs) from Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations. We make use of [corresponding site displacement] data, […]
This month’s IVS-related articles (courtesy of Nlingi Habana: thank you!): Pakize, et al. (2023): “On the improvement of the sensitivity levels of VLBI solutions from a combination with GNSS” https://doi.org/10.1016/j.asr.2023.06.021 “The fundamental goal of the quality assessment using the sensitivity is to find out to what level VLBI can detect station displacements in the adjusted […]
Our GGOS colleagues have shared an informational film on geodesy, “Discover GGOS.” It is available on YouTube in English, Spanish, and German, with other translations to follow. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIIfsJS7iAuxXGqq0YLAUO_m_06za9vqr Please share with anyone who might like to learn about geodesy!
