Working Groups: IVS Working Group on VLBI2010

Purpose The VLBI2010 Working Group will examine current and future requirements for VLBI geodetic systems, including all components from antenna to analysis, and produce a report with recommendations for a new generation of systems. The charter for WG3 was accepted at the September 29, 2003 Directing Board meeting.
