In order to prepare for support of future spacecraft requiring use of the Global Positioning System (GPS), ESA is upgrading the GPS receivers installed in several stations of its ground network, and in parallel is developing the software tools needed for high precision processing of GPS data. Preparations are underway for participation in an International GPS Geodynamics Service (IGS). A preoperational test of the IGS concept will take place over a period of three months in the Summer of 1992. The aims of this participation in relation to overall support for near Earth missions are outlined. Ongoing work in reduction of the data of a recent global GPS campaign is discussed, and a status report is given in a contract for accurate surveys of the stations of the ESA network using GPS.
