TNB1 and TNB2 continuous GNSS stations

There are currently two continuous GNSS stations, TNB1 and TNB2, nearby the Italian base MZS (Mario Zucchelli Station). Collected data, in RINEX format, are sent daily in Italy and are available for download at the Database page of this website.

TNB1 continuous GPS station was monumented during the 1997-1998 campaign on a granite outcrop. It was originally equipped with an Ashtech Z-12 GPS receiver and an Ashtech 700936D Dorne Margolin antenna with chokering. Installed on a concrete pillar, TNB1 continuously collected data of the GPS constellation for about 17 years. In November 2015, the instrumentation was completely renewed. Currently, the station is equipped with a Leica GS25 GNSS receiver and a Leica AT504 Dorne Margolin antenna with chokering. TNB1 collect data of GPS and GLONASS constellations.
