The Bureau
of Land Management, Laramie County Community College, the
Cheyenne / Laramie County GIS Cooperative and the Professional
Land Surveyors of Wyoming / Southeast Chapter have collectively
entered into an agreement for the establishment of a Continuously
Operating Reference Station (CORS) in Laramie County, Wyoming.
What is
CORS? www.ngs.noaa.gov/CORS
The participants
have dedicated their time and resources to establish the
Cooperative CORS and a point of distribution for the mapping
data.
Equipment
resources were provided as follows:
Trimble
Navigation 5700 GPS CORS station and antenna
TRS datalogging software and datalogging computer
Tribach for antenna mount
Technical knowledge of the Wyoming State Geodesist and NGS State Geodetic
Coordinator
Location
for CORS
Antenna mount and support
IT support and telecommunications links for successful data transmittal to
NGS and Cheyenne/Laramie County GIS Cooperative website.
Website
for distribution and archival of mapping data to the public
and GIS Cooperative members
 Professional
Land Surveyors of Wyoming / Southeast Chapter
www.plsw.org
Trimble
Navigation Trimmark IIe radio, cabling, power converter
and accessories for the purpose of broadcasting a Real
Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS corrector signal
Coordination of FCC licensing.

Specifications
The station consists of a Trimble 5700 dual frequency GPS receiver, a Trimble D/M choke ring antenna, and TRS v1.05 data logging software. Station operation is 24 hours a day.
A Trimble HPB450 35 watt radio broadcasts CMR+ in the TrimTalk450s mode at 9600 baud on 461.65 MHz for Real Time Kinematic (RTK) surveying. The RTK signal is available approximately from 0500 to 2000 hours local time.
Two types of files are collected. The first is a Trimble .DAT file (5 second measurement rate) posted every thirty minutes to the National Geodetic Survey where it is converted to the RINEX format. Data is available for download from www.ngs.noaa.gov/CORS.
A Trimble
mapping ssf file (5 second measurement rate) is posted hourly
to http://www.laramiecounty.com/_departments/_GIS/gps_data_24.asp.
The data is available as compressed self-extracting .exe
files.
Station
Coordinates
The station coordinates are listed below. Elevations and heights are referenced
to the Antenna Reference Position(ARP) which is the bottom of the antenna.
