Genesis Program
ESA FutureNAV mission developing a flying geodetic observatory to improve the International Terrestrial Reference Frame to 1 mm accuracy and 0.1 mm per year stability by synchronizing and cross calibrating four geodetic techniques: very long baseline interferometry, satellite laser ranging, global navigation satellite systems, and DORIS. The mission passed its preliminary design review and is preparing for a foreseen 2028 launch.
