The German Antarctic Receiving Station O'Higgins and Its VLBI Capabilities
Abstract
The German Antarctic Receiving Station (GARS) O'Higgins started in the early 1990s with regular VLBI operations. Because of its remote position on the Antarctic Peninsula, the VLBI observing was mostly restricted to the Antarctic summer months. New equipment, a continuous operation by the German Aerospace Center (DLR), and new realizations of observation schedules may open the door for regular observations over the whole year. This paper reports the upgrades carried out in hard- and software and the latest results.
