Overview
There are times in the history of a science when the evolving technology has been combined with a singleness of purpose to make possible the next great step. For space geodesy the decade of the 1980s was one of those times. Initiated in the early 1980s, the NASA Cnistal Dynamics Project (CDP), a global venture of unprecedented proportions, exploited new technologies to confirm and refine tectonic theories and to advance geodynamics.

Initiated in 1979 and completed in 1991, the NASA Crustal Dynamics Project exploited new technologies to confirm and refine tectonic theories and to advance geodynamics. This volume is the third of three addressing aspects of this unprecedented global venture (the first two cover crustal dynamics and earth dynamics). It discusses the development and use of satellite laser ranging, lunar laser ranging, very long baseline interferometry, the Global Positioning System satellites, and expected technological advancements in the 1990s.
