Purpose: The installation of a permanent GPS station at the Everest Pyramid Laboratory permits to establish a link with the GPS station already installed in Lhasa (Tibet) by research Institutions of China and Germany in the field of Geodesy. Being linked to the DORIS orbitography station it provides information on long range and short range tectonic movements. This GNSS station provides also the RTK (Real Time Kinematic) corrections for very accurate positioning.
