Radio Telescope Position Velocities

Radio telescopes operating in global networks have their positions determined by using distant radio-emitting galaxies as fixed beacons in space. Plate tectonic motion makes these positions change over time. The most recent velocity solution is from NASA's Goddard Spaceflight Centre. More plots can be selected at GSFC VLBI NUVEL Solution 2007dn. For technical data see the GSFC VLBI Data and Results page.
