<span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This metadata can have even further scientific benefits, such as the realization of the reference frames. For instance, the metadata information we have obtained from GSA on
the Galileo satellites is forming the basis for our next reprocessing effort and will allow IGS to obtain our first estimates of scale!</span><br>
