The Goddard Geophysical and Astronomical Observatory is NASA's geodetic observing site at Greenbelt. The IVS station inventory identifies colocated VLBI systems there and lists NASA Goddard as their sponsoring organisation. Its satellite laser ranging system is ILRS GODL, station 7105, also known as MOBLAS 7. This record represents the observatory site and its colocated geodetic instruments, with the map positioned at the GODL reference point published by ILRS.
