Scientific paper

The precision of the terrestrial coordinates of the rotational pole was determined from the satellite data using the Navy Navigation Satellite System (TRANSIT). Observations were made in Maine, Minnesota, California, and Hawaii; the data agreed with extrapolated and final coordinates from the Bureau International de l'Heure and final coordinates from the Doppler Polar Motion Service. The investigation indicates that low-cost and near-real-time estimates of the terrestrial coordinates of the pole are available as a by-product of the routine support required for the TRANSIT.
