REMOS Caracas station is operational within the UCV
The Department of Geodetic Engineering and Surveying of the Central University of Venezuela, in a significant inter-institutional cooperation effort with the Geographic Institute of Venezuela Simón Bolívar (IGVSB), successfully completed the installation of the new Continuous Monitoring Network Station (REMOS) for the city of Caracas.
This continuous operating reference station (CORS) is a vital component that is integrated into the Venezuelan Continuous Satellite Monitoring Network. This network, fundamental for national Geodesy, currently has 7 CORS stations and is constantly expanding to ensure precise and reliable coverage throughout the territory.
Key Technical and Scientific Benefits
The operation of the REMOS at the UCV generates a great positive impact in the central region of the country, offering:
- High-Precision Positioning: Provides real-time or delayed satellite data, linked directly to the Venezuelan Legal Reference Framework (SIRGAS-REGVEN).
- Cutting-Edge Research: The data generated by this station and the national CORS network are maximum quality inputs for the development of research work, undergraduate and postgraduate theses within the UCV Faculty of Engineering, strengthening research in Geodesy and Geomatics.
The implementation of REMOS is an example of how Geodetic Engineering benefits millions of
people. Although the
average citizen may not be aware of its existence, this system guarantees a precise geodetic
