Located near to the village of Herstmonceux in East Sussex the NERC Space Geodesy Facility SGF is actively supporting geodetic and geophysical science. The SGF makes range observations to enable orbit determination for scientific satellite missions that study the oceans ice sheets land mass gravity field and climate of the Earth in order to better understand the processes at work. The SGF is part of the International Laser Ranging Service ILRS and International GNSS Service IGS networks. It is appointed by the ILRS as one of the eight ILRS Analysis Centres and was awarded by the Global Geodetic Observing System GGOS the status of New Technology SLR Site. The SGF is a Research Facility of the Natural Environment Research Council NERC with additional funding from the Ministry of Defence.
